"As for your questions, renting out yourself would make it considered private it property yes"

ok therefore people would not be able to use their possessions for profit

what about if a woman decides to sell her body(which arguably would be far more in demand than a man's body) for profit? would you regulate that as well?

 

" but not the fruits if you do all of the work on your own and then sell it wouldn't count since you're only profiting off of your own labour."

so how would you preserve equality? do you understand that people work at different rates of speed?

 

" I agree that some form of government is needed to enforce it, but the state isn't the only form of government."

ok how would your government be organised? and how would it operate without a hierarchy exsiting between it and the people?

 

"yet how would capitalism exist without it? There'd be nobody to create or enforce property laws. "

property laws are needed for people to protect their property?

do you understand why people possess guns?

 

"Also, it's irrelevant too whether or not you think socialism is possible"

to clarify the socialism you have described is full of gaping massive holes but i do acknowledge that there are others who are trying to put practical policies in place such as socialised healthcare

 

"but that doesn't just meant that anything can be called socialist."

which is not what i said... taking resources from the richer people of society and distributing those resources across the society is the goal behind policies like socialised healthcare and state funded education

that's socialism and it to some extent is the motivating influence behind the ideas you have put forward also

and wow i'm a capitalist now?

OK, if you're not a capitalist what are you?

i am a taurus but that's irrelevant to the points i've made
