“Sorry son, little Johnny across the street is willing to go trick or treating for only two pieces of candy per hour, so I’m taking him instead.”
Additionally, if your bucket handle breaks, you need third party software and hardware to create a matching digital signature to replace the handle.
For every 10 full size snickers you collect, I give you one loose m&m.
I also put a couple of your siblings up for adoption right before Halloween to let you know you’re expendable.
If it bothers you, you can always go talk to your mom, who empathises, so that you feel good enough to get back to collecting
myour candy. But she will immediately come tell me everything you said.You ungrateful worm… After all I’ve done for you?
Under capitalism, a properly regulated, and competitive free market is not zero sum.
Such a thing is impossible. The current system is working exactly as intended

What is your argument to support this statement?

If the current system is intended to be capitalist, then it is not working as intended, as was described above.
What is your argument to support this statement?
You got it wrong. What’s your empirical evidence to support your statement?

Not at all. This is capitalism. Actually existing capitalism. I’m de-facto correct.

I don’t really understand this. You claimed that it is impossible. Saying something is impossible is different than saying that it hasn’t happened. To claim that something is impossible is a final statement where certain rules can never be satisfied. As such, you certainly can provide an argument for your claim. That being said, my counterargument would be a simple example: Person 1 wants an apple, and Person 2 wants money. Person 1 and Person 2 agree that 1$ is a fair price for an apple. Person 2 gives the apple to Person 1 in exchange for Person 1 giving 1$ to Person 2. Person 1 is happy because they have an apple, which they wanted, and Person 2 is happier because they received money, which they wanted. The net satisfaction is greater than zero — both sides received something that they wanted.

I can use one simple example to counter that: If one can find an example of a monopoly then the market in which that monopoly exists is not capitalist — one example to prove that point is private utilities.
That not how science works. You don’t get to posit a theory without falsification and declare it as true until someone else comes up with a falsification for it and tests it.
You have no evidence you just have wild theories based on “perfectly spherical cows in a vacuum” .
And monopolies don’t prove the non existence of Capitalism. They’re it’s natural end result.
