Capital != means of production

[–] OurToothbrush@lemmy.ml -4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It literally does, according to the person who coined the term and socialist political economic theory up to the present.

Have you read any marx? Any marx whatsoever?

Capital was coined by Marx? Say what?

First recorded in 1175–1225; Middle English; (adjective) from Anglo-French or directly from Latin capitālis “of the head” (capit-, stem of caput “head” + -ālis adjective suffix; see -al1); (noun) from Medieval Latin capitāle “wealth,” noun use of neuter of the adjective capitālis
