    Considering that the capitalists got us to literally pay for the glorified goon squads that represses us while protecting their precious private property for them out of our taxes, I’d say that it’s them that’s getting all the “free stuff.”

      Yeah, this never ever happened in human history before capitalism.

        Ok, liberal… find me an example of a state-funded murder-institution dedicated to the protection of private property before the advent of capitalism.

        Should be easy for an enlightened shitlib like you, eh?

                You liberals seem to be having a hard time understanding what basic words mean… so here. I’ll post the challenge again.

                Find me an example of a state-funded murder-institution dedicated to the protection of private property before the advent of capitalism.

                    Not him, but feudalism wasn’t a state sponsored system in the modern sense. There was no bureaucratic, state-funded army or police force enforcing property rights. Each Lord maintained their own. Also, private property didn’t really exist. Land was held in a feif. Feudal institutions were set up to maintain feudal obligations and social order based on land tenure and status or whatever, not to protect private property or markets.

                  Actually feudalism doesn’t have much of anything to do with state capitalism… Not sure why everyone’s so smug itt. The answer doesn’t address the question at all.
