I have to presume @vimukthi is incapable of recognizing or unwilling to admit that instances of the direct opposition to any principle of non-aggression by the profit motive abound.
All paid military forces, and any other organization that uses violence tactically or strategically- there'll ALWAYS be money to be made there...ISIS certanly turned their US-backed franchise to great financial success for quite a few years.

Does Steemit Support Oligarchy More Than Anarchism? Does Real Anarchy Lead to World Peace? How WIll Steemit Evolve?
in the very purest sense, it is true that money/profit does not inherently oppose violence, because we 'could' just be totally non attached to the 'profit' and release them at will - this would result in continued balance and abundance for all. there may in many cases also be enough to go around so that no conflicts arise anyway. the military conflicts may occur with or without money - so in that sense the issue could be said to be 'attachment' as buddha points us to.
however, on earth it is useful to have a 'home' and other 'things' that we are attached to to some extent and i don't have a problem with that. the key issue is being able to be open hearted enough to share, instead of getting caught up in the dominator principle of 'own or be owned'.
