The Brits were the biggest capitalists that ever came around. We were not fighting against them to create a new system of business. We fought for fair and equal treatment. We fought them over their feudal abuses.
You are saying that 'capitalism' did not exist until the Americans created it. Thats not true!
If the Brits were not abusing their power, America never would have rebelled.
Read the Constitution. I provided a link to the Bill of Rights in post #57.
Each one is in there for a reason, and as a reaction to something. They did not put them in there for nothing.
As far as being 'equal' goes, it depends on what you mean by 'equal'. The royals in England thought they had divine rights to do whatever it was they were doing. America rebelled against that notion.
All men are created equal before God (and endowed with certain inalienable rights). It had absolutely nothing to do with who owned what.
In Marxism if I own more than you then we are not equal. In American-ism. If I am a billionaire, and you are a peasant, we are both equal before God and the law.
Maybe I should say this way. The colonialists did things in a feudal way so that it actually hurt the capitalism in America. The nature of American revoution was to promote the capitalism.
>>All men are created equal before God (and endowed with certain inalienable rights). It had absolutely nothing to do with who owned what.
Marx dinn't think so. Marx believed that the social status was determined by the economic status.
>>In Marxism if I own more than you then we are not equal.
Rgiht, because we are at different starting points.
>>In American-ism. If I am a billionaire, and you are a peasant, we are both equal before God and the law.
Not true in reality. You can hire a lawyer to escape imprisonment but I can't afford, so I go to jail.
