It is simply when you exchange your banana for my apple. That is capitalism.

No, it isn’t. That is a trade. Capitalism is not trading system but a production system. Not any production system, but exploitative system. Capitalism goes like this: “I have a banana plantation, and a group of you who are ready to work at my plantation all day are going to get one banana. The rest of you can drop dead.” Or as Marx has brilliantly defined it: “Capital is a relationship between people and regarding the means of production.” Capitalism is a system of exploitation based on that relation. That is capitalism in essence — Exploitation.

Now, what might be an alternative to capitalism?

Alternative is simple: Instead of exploitation, there have to be cooperation. It is possible, and with blockchain, it will destroy capitalism — or capitalism will destroy the planet.

Julian Assange is the personification of good non-crony, non-corporate colluding, non-government-funded, non-globalism guided, real and not fake free market capitalism.

Wrong again. Julian Assange is simply the personification of true journalism. That is the reason big capitalist corporations AND state wants him dead. As the Trade, Truth existed before capitalism, and will live long after capitalism.
