"Uh, that isn't private ownership. Do you know what the word "private" means? It means individual. "

No, private ownership is not exclusive to individual ownership over something. Collectivist ownership of property is acknowleding property rights as in opposition to state ownership. private property would exist with the means of production owning the factors of production collectively or on some sort of private democratised leve.

Do you mean like a syndicate? Do they have individual shares that they can buy and sell? If so, fine. But that's capitalism. If not, then it isn't private ownership.

based on a system contrary to the wage system than that is not capitalism- it is a negation of it.

What does this even mean: "based on a system contrary to the wage system"? Are you saying that you don't want workers to get paid for their work? I boggle. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

It would depend on how you define "paid". If you define it by recieving a proportionate return on their work then that is what you are stricly opposing.
