Wrong. Capitalism has EVERYTHING to do with survival until food, shelter, healthcare, and education are provided free to all human beings as a birthright.

First of I think you are confusing capitalism with fascism or something. Because like I said it's a economic system, it's not a political system.
If you don't want to trade that's fine. You don't have to engage in trade you can go off living in the mountains or something.
Why should all of those things be provided for free though? It doesn't make sense.
Most people work and can buy all of those things. And those who can't will get assistance from either their families or charitable organizations.

In what twisted fucking fantasy version capitalism does this actually happen? When someone falls you stomp their face into the mud, pick their pockets, and run off. That is the reality of capitalism. Take the blinders off and see your society for what it is.

Charitable organizations. Friends and family helping you out when you are broke. Happens all the time.

The part where if we serfs don't pay our rent to our landlords, they send the knights(police) to haul us away in chains(handcuffs) and throw us out in the fucking streets.

Or the part where if a starving person takes food without permission, cutting into some capitalist's profit-margins, that person has committed a crime, and will be thrown into a dungeon(prison) to rot. Capitalism is little more than thinly-veiled feudalism. A society governed by violence first and reason second.

Any lover of reason must be opposed to violence, because the world is a zero-sum game between reason and violence. Capitalism cannot exist without systemic, mass-scale violence. Therefore, anyone ethically opposed to violence must also be opposed to capitalism.

Come on, how often does that happen? I'm not a defender of the police state but in reality you would get away with 1 or 2 months free rent then you would be thrown out.
The police wouldn't show up, they never show up when they are needed so why would they in this scenario?

And what right do you have to live for free in a apartment? What if 2 guys showed up at your home demanding you let them live there for a eternity?
