    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.

          [Food being produced for personal gain and letting the ‘unworthy’ starve] was true before capitalism, though.
