Okay, sure. I probably shouldn't have, but I watched it. I've heard the dichotomy argument before: "it's a state monopoly or free enterprise!" But don't you think that the wide array of views on this subreddit alone justifies looking at economies through more than just the lens of a one-dimensional line?

The key problem with the guy with the spear is that a random dude with a spear by himself on an island is in no way representative of the system we have inherited. The spear-hunting man did NOT produce anything by catching something -- he killed a living thing and appropriated it as his own property.

Communism and socialism do not have a problem with this in an island vacuum, of course. If you're starving, take something and eat. It doesn't really matter what on the tiny-desert-island-scale. It is actually capitalism that has a problem with this very example: if you are starving on the street in the city and take an apple from a street cart, what happens? In communism you simply eat it and go on with your life, not starving; under capitalism you are beaten and taken to jail.

Besides, if there are a thousand people all on the island, and they all go spearing fish, what's going to happen? The fish will dwindle and soon cause a famine. Sticks don't produce fish, hatcheries produce fish. So go the crises of capitalism. I see far more problems with the arguments in the video, but my comment is getting long.

Now, I challenge you to read The Communist Manifesto and send me a quote from it -- one you agree with, one you disagree with, whatever, don't care, let's talk about it. I doubt I'll hear back, but who knows? Anyway, it's free and short: https://smile.amazon.com/Manifesto-Communist-Party-Karl-Marx-ebook/dp/B0039GL21I

I'll be here.

I think it's more of a manifesto. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0039GL21I

But yes, you can read it.
