And this is why arguing about “capitalism” is pointless, there’s a bunch of incompatible definitions. You are using a definition closer to Marx’s, while the GP is using a definition closer to Rand’s. (Most people use a fizzier definition than either of these.)

Just let these definitional arguments go, they’re not interesting or valuable.

Let them go and you have no definitional basis on which to argue, and then how can you engage? I can't see any debate can be at all possible like that.

As a general principle agree your definitions before you lock horns and you'll start getting somewhere, if no further than agreeing to disagree.
