    Food was produced to feed people before capitalism, surely. Or to trade, but mostly to feed people, rather than make a profit.

    What do you think a profit is? For that matter, why do you think food turns a profit in the modern day, if not its function of feeding people?

      What do you think a profit is?

      To take more than you give. To make something not for the good of all, but for the good of you.

      why do you think food turns a profit in the modern day

      Because we are making food to be sold first, then eaten, rather than be eaten without first being sold.

      I mean, it’s quite simple, really?

        … and you think people making things for their own good rather than the collective is an invention of capitalism?

        What do you think trading is if not selling and buying?

          I don’t know where you’re taking this. Can you just say what you want said instead of asking questions? This will go a lot faster with that method than whatever is going on here. Thank you.
