Definition:
Capitalism is a belief that ownership exists and how it can be improved.
Capitalism is most commonly defined as an economic system characterized by private ownership of the means of production and operation for profit. In a capitalist economy, investments, distribution, income, production, and pricing of goods and services are determined by private individuals or companies in a free market.
But in reality, capitalism is simply about ownership. Something that is merely a fictional concept.
Etymology:
The term “capitalism” is compound with the suffix -ism, which refers to an ideology, that is, a belief in what reality is and how it can be improved. Therefore, capitalism can be defined as the belief that capital exists and how it can be improved. The term “capitalism” originates from the word “capital,” which comes from Late Latin “capitalis,” meaning “of the head,” and signifies “from the imagination.” Capitalists themselves will often claim that “of the head” means that capital not only includes economic resources or assets, but also human resources such as knowledge, skills, and intellectual capacity.
The reason this is claimed is because capitalists define capital only as values used to generate income. In other words, if you spend money on food or entertainment, then those funds cannot be called capital. This idea is illogical because we all need food to stay alive so that we can produce something later in life, and we all need entertainment for our own well-being, in order to produce something later in life. In the grand scheme, all value is used for production unless it is destroyed. But then it is no longer owned anyway, so it cannot be called capital anymore. So in short, “capital” means “ownership.”
Description:
Something important to understand when it comes to creating a monetary system is that justice is a fictional concept. Achieving 100% justice is impossible, which means that in every trade, there is always at least one party that loses out.
Capitalists claim that capitalism is fair by providing everyone with an equal opportunity to earn money. This is, of course, a lie as the opportunities to acquire information, obtain a job, or establish a workplace depend on the economic conditions where you live. At the same time, family economic status and generosity play far too significant a role in your opportunities. Additionally, capitalism is about competition, meaning there will always be a large group of people willing to do whatever it takes to outcompete you. These are often individuals who have built themselves up through generations of competition, meaning you stand no chance against them if you are born into poverty. Capitalism makes it vital for the vast majority to borrow money, while banks charge interest on borrowed funds, turning an insane number of people into debt slaves. By definition, capitalism strives to be an unjust system.
The other two alternatives commonly presented as contrasts to capitalism are socialism and communism, and these are often sold as the only alternatives. The problem with capitalism, socialism, and communism is that all these monetary systems have some form of authority controlling the money.
- In capitalism, there is no guarantee preventing people from starving. Capitalists argue that the fear of starvation motivates people to work, but this results in the majority of people on Earth being desperate and having to perform unnecessary work.
- In socialism, it is ensured that everyone has access to basic needs and resources, but the authority controls all resources and decides what constitutes basic needs. The authority also determines how much an individual can earn, meaning the authority can keep most of the money for themselves as long as they provide enough for people to survive and work. Socialism inherently entails benefiting from each other, unlike capitalism, which is about profiting off others.
- Communism also ensures access to basic needs and resources, where everyone owns the resources and authority is removed. The idea is that everyone capable of working must work, not only to meet basic needs but also to create entertainment for society. However, the implementation of communism has always failed due to forced labor and the challenge of removing all authority. Every time a nation has tried to remove authority, a new authority has emerged. Communism inherently entails being a community. However, as long as there are other communities in the world, the definition of “communism” will remain being a local community.
- A fourth alternative would be a global monetary system that ensures access to basic needs and resources, where everything is owned by the people. Inheritance is illegal, and information is open to all. Qualification to use resources is based on demonstrable understanding of them. Parents are the only ones forced to work, to be responsible for the lives they have brought into the world. Everyone else can work voluntarily. A system where the people can afford what we collectively work to afford, and where people die out if we don’t work to keep ourselves alive. Those last to receive food are those capable of working but always choose not to. Authority is eliminated globally, as local elimination only leads to takeover by other authorities. Money usage follows demand, but with a maximum limit for industrial earnings, so surplus is distributed to other purposes.
Symbolism:
For capitalists, capitalism symbolizes competition and economic freedom, where it is clear and evident that by the word “freedom” they mean the freedom to control others’ lives with money. For the rest of the world’s population, capitalism symbolizes economic inequality and injustice.
The symbol for capitalism is often something triangular or shaped like a vertical line, such as a triangle, a pyramid, or a tower. The reason for this is that capitalism is a hierarchical monetary system.
In capitalism, a few individuals or companies tend to own and control large portions of the economy. This results in a hierarchy where owners or shareholders wield significant power and control over the means of production, while workers often have limited control over their working conditions and limited influence on the decisions made within the company. Capitalist enterprises typically operate with a hierarchical structure where leaders and owners make decisions and workers follow these decisions. This creates a clear hierarchy where a few individuals or groups have considerable power and control over the working conditions of the employees. Capitalism tends to generate economic inequality, where a few individuals or companies accumulate vast amounts of wealth and power, while the majority of people have limited economic resources and influence. This creates a hierarchy based on economic status, where the rich and powerful have greater opportunities and privileges than those who are less privileged.
On the back of the US one-dollar bill, they have placed an Illuminati symbol which is the reverse side of The Great Seal of the United States of America to symbolize the hierarchy of capitalism.
The pyramid symbolizes the hierarchy among people. The top of the pyramid is missing but is replaced with the symbol of the Eye of Providence, also known as the Eye of God, to symbolize that God controls people from above. In other words, this symbolizes that the fantasy/lies of God’s existence control people. The idea is that you can work your way up the pyramid, but in reality, the top is only a lie. The Illuminati symbol represents how the entire world’s monetary system (the hierarchy) is a pyramid scheme where the majority at the bottom lift the few to reach a top that doesn’t exist. The back side of the US one-dollar bill includes the phrase “In God We Trust.”

Religion:
It is difficult to find religious texts that refer to capitalism or the world monetary system. However, there is a Jewish law stating that Jews are not allowed to charge interest to other Jews when lending money. In the Bible, in Exodus, chapter 22, verse 24, it says: “If you lend money to any of my people with you who is poor, you shall not be like a moneylender to him, and you shall not exact interest from him.” In the New Testament, which is addressed to Christians, Jesus encourages his followers not to charge interest when lending money. In the Bible, in Luke, chapter 6, verses 34-35, it says: “And if you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to get back the same amount. But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil.” Muslims are told in the Quran that Allah forbids interest when lending money. In Quran 2:275-279, it says: “Those who devour interest will not stand except as stands one whom the devil has driven to madness by (his) touch. That is because they say: “Trade is just like interest,” but Allah hath permitted trade and forbidden interest. Those who, after receiving direction from their Lord, desist, shall be pardoned for the past; their case is for Allah (to judge); but those who repeat (The offence) are companions of the Fire: They will abide therein (for ever).”
This structure where Jews charge interest, where Christians are encouraged not to charge interest but not prohibited, and where Muslims are prohibited from charging interest actually corresponds to how wealth is distributed in the world, where Jews are on average the richest, Christians are on average the second richest, and Muslims are the poorest. And where the non-religious population lies on average at the expected average considering that they do not have an ideology that tells them either to swindle or to be swindled.
