I am getting a little tired of repeating myself, but you're evidently confused so I'll indulge you.

The opposition to capitalist as a monetary system does not imply the opposition to the profit motive. As I've said several times, and which you continue to ignore, the exchange of goods and services in the form of commerce requires the profit motive. Conflating my position with communism is a straw man.

Well, you do repeat Marxist tenets, like the class struggle and the labor theory of value.

Just because they are Marxist tenets doesn't mean they aren't true. Feel free to refute them if you feel otherwise.
