@Radical_EgoCom I am well aware what Capitalism is. I know what Communism and Socialism are too. They are each concepts of β€œpure” economies and do not exist anywhere in the world. There will always be black markets, cottage industries, flea markets, and underground economies. Abolition has never solved anything. The U.S. still has legal slavery more than 150 years after it was abolished.

Capitalism is not a "pure economy." There are many different versions of capitalism, from laissez-faire capitalism to state capitalism to corporate capitalism, etc. It can have practically any form as long as it has private ownership of the means of production, free markets, competition, and limited government intervention. 1/2

There likely will remain such things as black markets, cottage industries, flea markets, and underground economies, but that doesn't mean that society shouldn't try to abolish the private ownership of the means of production just because these outliers may exist. 2/2
