Lol come on man.
Don't try to gocha me with your leading questions, "man"!
said capitalism is the economic system of a state. You started going on about international trade, making it sound like "nations compete therefore capitalism is all trade".
Your conclusion is false. It's actually: Capitalism requires nations to compete.
I tried to help you understand by proposing the question of whether a communist state can trade with a capitalist state
If a "communist" state (which is an oxymoron, since communism is by definition stateless) trades with a capitalist state, it's in a capitalist context. The states interact on a capitalist world market.
So that you understand that capitalism is not defined by international trade.
International trade is a consequence of capitalism in a world of nation states.
What's your point?
International economy means that there is a competition going on between the nations.
If Chinese companies sell more EVs, Germany's economy suffers.
It's an economic system for a state
Umm, we're in international economy. There's no capitalist state that doesn't do international trade.
And the states are in competition with one another. That's why tarifs exist.
So you agree that capitalism's primary use is not to ensure the supply of everyone's needs with the most effective usage of resources.
But rather: it's about competition on an international level. And the former kingpins (so-called "US" and Europe) try to stop their inevitable decline.
It says "avoid".
Strawman - most anarchists acknowledge that it takes a transitional period to get from capitalism to communism. Any ML who claims that (all) anarchists refuse to accept that just didn't bother engaging in anarchist theory.
The main difference to authoritaian socialists (as opposed to libertarian socialists) when it comes to the transitionary period is that they take means-ends-unity into account.
Both are valid
Explain how!
Statistically, you will live a middle life, on average. Like, by definition.
