What are your thoughts about Iryna Zarutska's murder?
How will you defend her murderer?

Are they being imprisoned because they are black?
Or has their case been adjudicated?

Ultimately isms are loaded beyond belief, anyway.
Do you have an Orsini bank or not is a more relevant question.
Capitalism and socialism are rooted from the same source point, the Vatican, and carried out to infect in different ways through the orders and societies and influence associated.

Put the pot down man. Like now.
Basics behind capitalism existed long before the vatican.
Capitalism = you own your own means of production.
Free markets were capitalism, even though the name may not habe been coined yet. Humans have been freely buying and selling goods and services for thousands of years. That, in effect is true capitalism. What you try to claim is capitalism is corporatism. Good job though.

I guess you never heard of sharing.
I think that was invented long ago.
My answer is intentionally kindiegarden in response to your simplifications of very loaded concepts, of which I prescribe to neither.
Does capitalism exist today, anywhere?

No. Increasing prison populations even as crime rates decreased does not prove that incarceration decreases crime. It proves that inmates are commodities to be exploited.
If mass incarceration deterred crime, we would see low crime rates with a stable prison population, not this:

You are one bleeding heart idiot. And a gullible one at that.
The people with the same ideology as you get people killed every…. Single….. day. Every day. Just like the girl in Charlotte. Every single day. Blood. And you could give a shite less.
You folks need minority death for some unknown reason. The killing fields in Jackson, MS, St Louis, Memphis, Chicago, Baltimore, etc are needed by you folks. It’s unknown why… but you need it. And will fight for it.
And when asked why you folks say, “We can’t trust the government to police the streets! Now! Look at this graff I googled from the government!! Tha statishsticks!!! Look!! Da line!! Da government line!! It go dat way!!!”

Notwithstanding that commodification isn't a real word, it sounds like you're asking people to do work for you for free.

Short answer: yes.
We have become so used to making money off of everything, we forget that this was not always the case in the past. A good example is Jonas Salk, creator of the polio vaccine. He could have patented the vaccine, but he wanted to make this available to the most amount of children, in the fastest way. When asked why he did not patent the vaccine, he said "could you patent the sun?" Most would say this was naive, but I can't think of a better example of someone being more concerned about the greater good, rather than the having the amount of money in his pocket.

Commodification of humans is the outcome of other systems.

Thanks for the thoughtful reply.

The equipment, skills and tools used for manufacturing metal license plates arent exclusive to license plates. There's no way you are this dumb.
I noticed you called me dumb without providing any information other than your own seemingly baseless opinion.
Can you be specific? Which other products does making license plates prepare individuals to manufacture? Which equipment overlaps?
