That is called “commerce”, which is totally different from “capitalism”.

"Commerce" is only possible if both parties are willing to respect each other's natural right to have private property and each other's right to express consent (voluntary exchange). By trading these goods, there is a mutual benefit (social cooperation) that emerges from wanting to satisfy their own self interest.

I think this is pretty capitalist for my taste. (And please, it's not the same as corporatocracy).

Commerce only requires personal property, not private property. The distinction is important.

Commerce as you described it just sounds like ideal capitalism.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

You made capitalism sound quite nice

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's a well-known fact that there was no commerce in feudal societies.

[–] MenKlash@kbin.social -2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Regardless of the socio-economic system imposed, commerce always persists because natural rights are inherent to human beings. Even in socialist systems, grey and black markets are going to be there.

Yeah, that was my point, but maybe it got lost in the snark.
