I have heard the "if I gain, you lose" way too many times, so let me address it. Win-win situations are ALWAYS possible because one party's values are different from another's. If I think X is worth 5 and you think it's worth 10, then we'll both win trading at 7.

So don't go there!

Sure, but you're talking about commerce. The problem with capitalism stems from it's parasitic production model, where the owner contributes nothing, but still benefits the most.

The entrepreneur guarantees wages to the worker in exchange for the profit. The workers don't have to wait till the goods are being sold to make money; they make money whether there's a profit or loss. The entrepreneur is compensated for the risk he takes with any profit made. Both sides explicitly agree to this arrangement there should be no problem.

And didn't you admit earlier that most owners/managers are not parasites? What's the point of calling capitalism a "parasitic production model" if not empty rhetoric?
