Stop blaming capitalism, and start blaming consumers.

You seem to be very self conscious about your own knowledge, because I in no way think I'm smarter than you. I don't even know you. However, I know you're wrong about this specific topic. You've contradicted yourself on several occasions, so it's clear you don't understand your own opinion.

You also seem to be very unclear on what capitalism is, so I searched the definition for you:

"capitalism/ˈkapɪt(ə)lɪz(ə)m/noun

  1. an economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state."

Can you please show me where this excludes small business'?

I've never denied that companies pollute. I've never denied that we have limited primary resources. And I've never denied that capitalism (even though capitalism is a system not an organization) and big companies are profit hungry. At this point you are literally making things up because you have nothing else to say.

Companies do pollute, we do have limited primary resources, and companies do strive for profit. That being said, you've missed my whole point because you're so bent on being close minded.

Companies do pollute, but if consumers didn't be support those companies, they wouldn't exist. It's not capitalisms fault.

We do have limited primary resources, but we have an infinite amount of renewable resources. Also, as I pointed out, capitalism doesn't require infinite resources.

Companies do strive for profit, but they have many other motives as well. This is where companies like Patagonia, or even small business' come into play.

I didn't relate you to marxism, you literally quoted marxist ideology and I all I did was point it out to you since you seem to be unaware of your own ideals. It wasn't an assumption at all. I can't understand how you don't realize this. It's like you're just digging your heels in at this point.
