The people are waking up to crapitalism and its intentions.
It appears to me that buying on the internal market during price spikes is the best stategy.

Capitalism doesn't even exist, let alone holds aims and intention.
It appears to me that buying on the internal market during price spikes is the best stategy.
Are you suggesting profiting from the buying and selling?
When crapitalism is forced upon you there is little choice but to profit from buying and selling.
IF I am going to be forced to live in a crapitalust's world, then I am going to do what they do to make the money I need to eat.
I see nothing wrong or contradictory about that policy.
IF you want to talk about alternatives to crapitalistic domination of economics we can do that.
But, as long as I am forced to pay to live, then I will do what I have to do to survive in the dystopia I find myself in.
Capitalism doesn't exist. Its a Socialist term invented and used to maintain the fiction that Free Markets are inherently immoral and unjustifiable.
What about the term “capitalism”? Interestingly, although the Industrial Revolution (beginning in the mid-18th century) demonstrated capitalism at work, the term wasn’t coined or used until the mid-19th century. Even Adam Smith (1723–1790)—the father of political economy, first systematic expositor of the workings of free markets, and author of An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations (1776)—did not use the term “capitalism.” The closest he came was to endorse what he called “the obvious and simple system of natural liberty.” Likewise, prominent philosophers and economists who issued widely-read treatises in the decades surrounding Smith’s 1776 book (e.g., David Hume, Thomas Malthus, Jean-Baptiste Say, James Mill, David Ricardo, J.R. McCullough, J.S. Mill) discussed “capital” and “capitalists,” but not “capitalism.”

Many writers preceded Marx in using the term “capitalism,” and of course, many used it after him. However, it has primarily been used by anti-capitalists. Thus, historically the use of the term “capitalism” has been shaped largely by those who, at best, misunderstood the system or, at worst, understood it but deliberately mischaracterized it in order to attack a straw-man version of it. In 1861, French socialist Pierre Proudhon used the term to describe an “economic and social regime in which capital, the source of income, does not generally belong to those who make it work through their labor.”8 In What is Property? (1840), Proudhon claimed that property is, per se, “theft.” Like Marx, he gave capitalism a nefarious connotation.

Does that include lying, cheating, stealing and killing?
I prefer hard labor and trading on the markets personally.
I have yet to have anybody dispute the math in chapter 9 of this book.
What we have is the intentional design of the system.
Trading your labor for money is theft though! Math has no value in this, at all. This is a fundamental matter of ethics. You consider working for money unethical. That is the Crux of the matter.
Only in a fiat environment, with sound money the argument becomes academic.
No longer can the banksters get labor for nothing while debasing everybody else's savings.
It's not academic argument, it's a property rights and moral/ethical dilemma of "being forced to pay with money".
You're shaking your fist at the bankers who have little to nothing to do with the economic policies that are handed down from the legislative branch.
I'm already in the pitchfork and torches crowd.
Have been for a very long time.
IF people understood their gov't we wouldn't be having these problems, but to expect the gov't to give their tax cattle the knowledge to not be tax slaves is a bridge to far.
Not theft, exploitation.
I have no money to steal, but I can be exploited for my labor by someone with alot of money.
!lol
Why do guitars cost so much?
Because I can't make one and those that can exploit my inability to make a guitar by charging more for them.
Why do doctors make more than plumbers?
Because doctors exploit people's inability to heal themselves.
Without plumbers we all die of sepsis.
Plumbers are exploiting people's inability, too.
Money is the root of that.
I think its theft, whichever way you slice it, if it smells like theft, tastes like theft and quaks like theft, its probably not exploitation, but theft.
Exploitation is when you place a worm on a hook to catch a fish. Its also using that fish to bait a bigger fish with.
exploitation (n.)
1803, "productive working" of something, a positive word among those who used it first, though regarded as a Gallicism, from French exploitation, noun of action from exploiter (see exploit (v.)). Bad sense developed 1830s-50s, in part from influence of French socialist writings (especially Saint Simon), also perhaps influenced by use of the word in U.S. anti-slavery writing; and exploitation was hurled in insult at activities it once had crowned as praise.
What are you? A slave? A worm? A fish?!
