   Holy crap there's a bunch of commercial crap pouring from #Mastodon. What do people think this is, a market place?! Person-to-person sales are capitalism too, remember.

     @animeirl I'll just quote Wikipedia and call it a day:
     »Capitalism is an economic system and an ideology based on private ownership of the means of production and their operation for profit.»

     @bob I've started unsubscribing from those who repeat a bunch of stuff about peoples' private art things that they encourage people to buy. Jeez.

     @animeirl I'd argue the lowest common denominator for all things called capitalism is the idea of private ownership and the accumulation of capital. Both are present in the actions I just frowned upon.

     @dwmatiz People selling stuff. Promoting their stores. Encouraging others to buy.
