No source. Their youtube channel is empty and doesn't have a list of their comments.
Capitalism is when there's a state that only permits private property if operated as a small business that operates within strict boundaries. This capitalist state would prevent business owners from having too many employees, from owning businesses other than one, and business owners would be subject to taxation that other citizens aren't. This is to ensure no private business gains too much authority. Corporations of course, are illegal and so is owning anything in a stock market.
Also I'm describing Cuba. Their lack of an income tax except for people in the private sector is very, very funny and cool to me.
I wonder what happens when atrapreneur with more capital runs the business at a loss to squeeze out other atrapreneurs, then use that monopoly power to jack up prices.
I will debate any 8 year old and win. Any child, any topic, any time. They won't even let me in the local primary school because they're afraid of my intillect.

Capitalism is when something is owned by one person. Communism is when something is owned by 2 or more persons. It's really not that complicated.
Okay I know I'm being a killjoy pain in the ass here, but about 54% of the US population reads below a sixth grade level, and a big chunk of those people are functionally illiterate. Making fun of people for poor spelling and grammar, even if the person you're making fun of is a jerk, is mocking people for being victim's of the US's brutal program of systematically restricting access to education. And even if the person you're mocking is an asshole, other people see that, and see a socialist making fun of people for being the victim of a shitty white supremacist system.
There's also the whole thing where "correct" spelling, grammar, and pronunciation are middle class white spelling, grammar, and pronunciation. Dialect and accents are a big class issue mostly everywhere, but also in the US. How you talk strongly influences how people think about you, and what they assume about you - aka African American Vernacular English being regarded as evidence someone is less intelligent or less knowledgeable, or that they're morally a bad person, as are a lot of accents from the South and from Flyover.
Plus, standardized spelling is an op by the dictionary companies to sell more dictionaries :wtf-am-i-reading:
Again, I know I'm being a killjoy about something minor, but there's a bigger picture and it's important. Literacy is one of our biggest weapons against capitalism and always has been.
It's pronounced "thing I think is so awesome I never even learned to spell it"
This is the inverse of mispronouncing a word because you've only ever read it.
Misspelling a word because you've only heard it in Rise and SuccessGrind podcasts or YouTube videos.
at first i thought atrapreneur was like, a more specific version of entrepreneur or something, but i googled it and now i think he just didn't know how to spell entrepreneur- which is fine, but i mean, are 166 ppl really taking definitions of capitalism and communism from a youtube comment dude who can't even spell entrepreneur?
entrepreneur - entre + atrape =
...wait that sounds really autocratic
When corporations and the state merge it is called...hmm...what again?
atrapreneur
Etymologically, this word means anyone who catches and then utilizes something, like an agent of regulatory capture.
French is a language where if you mispronounce something slightly, you can end up serving up a self-own.
Hell yes. God I love living in a world where anything you can't disprove is true.
My bones are all made of titanium and my muscles of vanadium oxide. :arm-L: :shroomjak: :arm-R:
Capitalism of the mom & pop store kind always develops into corporate capitalism
Many companies -> one is more profitable than the others because quality, more exploitative workplace practices, luck, etc. -> it starts expanding and eventually, due to a larger profitability is able to drive other companies out of business or lowers their market share to irrelevancy (unless they engage in profit increasing measures like lowering quality or making stuff addictive) -> expansion and transformation towards a corporate structure, of the kind that libertarians claim is not real capitalism.
It's kinda hilarious how the utopia of the libertarians, of hundreds of thousands of small business tyrants (entrepreneurs) requires constant regulatory interventions to do the authoritarian thing and break up large companies or slow their growth - and countries that do adopt this kind of logic usually end up slacking off on this and end up with governments that end up favoring the big companies, because for example blatant corruption or stuff like international competition - the fear of "if we don't sell our cars, then the Chinese will", forcing continuous expansions, as well as seeking forceful measures such as imperialism, war, aiding the bourgeoise in the class conflict and making your working class suffer under the boot, etc.
And basically everyone is fine with this circus and does not want to change anything because we've been told for 100 years that God will strike us down if we try socialism and for the last 30 years it's become a truism reinforced by "socialism failed, get over it" :troll:
Capitalism is when that learn to fly game where the penguin puts jets on his glider to fly. Communism is when you're playing chess and you miss a bishop and put your queen on its diagonal
