I'm simply resopnding to the claim that I don't know the definition of real capitalism, a preposterous claim that I easily refuted, because the definition is public and universal.
Changing the language is a bad way to try to drive home your point.
And capitalism is not evil, but it is a system of structural oppression, where those who are not born into privilege have a very hard time to get anywhere, let alone reach a decent living standard.
Property is not "natural" it is a modern invention ,and it's the basis of capitalist structural oppression.
We have one world, and we have certain resources, acutally we have abundant resources, and they need to be shared.
Not sharing enforced by a governments, but sharing as an inherent part of the structure of society, of how we govern our communities.
The obvious ideal is that the decisions and the control over resources should be local, and benficial to all within the local community.
This is the basis of the communalist ideal.
Local "democracy" (real democracy) mutual aid, collaboration , and stewardship over the eartth following ecological principles.

So you can legitimately "own" a house? Then that means you can legitimately "own" the land on which the house sits. And you can likewise "own" the wood - and thus, the trees - from which the house was made. You're admitting that exclusive claims of land resources for the benefit of one individual is legitimate - and even "necessary." This contradicts your anti-property theories.
I suppose if you see property as evil (which you obviously do not, since you think private ownership of land resources is "necessary"), then you'll naturally think that using such property for financial gain is "structural oppression." Does it matter to you if this "capitalism" actually improves the living conditions of those who participate in the economic system? Or do you only see the relative "poorness" of certain people as proof of its shortcomings, regardless of why those people are relatively poor compared to others? Do you only fault "capitalism" for all of the poorness, or do you look at other factors that may be causing it?
Modern, as in, just the last couple of centuries? Or modern, as in, since the dawn of "modern" civilization? And are we talking about "property," or are we talking about the nonsensical attempt to distinguish "personal" property from "private" property? I'm not a communist, so I don't make such absurd distinctions about claims of ownership.
My toothbrush is mine, whether I only use it myself, or let my friend use it for a nickel per brush when needed. I don't instantly become an evil oppressor when they need to clean their teeth and don't have any other way to do it, do I? Or should I just let everyone who needs a toothbrush use mine until its destroyed, then use my own time and labor to acquire a new one for myself to use - and for everyone else who needs to use it as well? Maybe they should get their own toothbrush or fairly compensate me for using and wearing down mine?
