So you agree that capitalism’s primary use is not to ensure the supply of everyone’s needs with the most effective usage of resources.
But rather: it’s about competition on an international level. And the former kingpins (so-called “US” and Europe) try to stop their inevitable decline.
I said capitalism is the economic system of a state. You started going on about international trade, making it sound like “nations compete therefore capitalism is all trade”.
I tried to help you understand by proposing the question of whether a communist state can trade with a capitalist state (it can). So that you understand that capitalism is not defined by international trade.
Don’t try to gocha me with your leading questions, “man”!

Your conclusion is false. It’s actually: Capitalism requires nations to compete.

If a “communist” state (which is an oxymoron, since communism is by definition stateless) trades with a capitalist state, it’s in a capitalist context. The states interact on a capitalist world market.

International trade is a consequence of capitalism in a world of nation states.

No, it is not about competition on an international level. It’s an economic system for a state, not an economic strategy
Umm, we’re in international economy. There’s no capitalist state that doesn’t do international trade.
And the states are in competition with one another. That’s why tarifs exist.
That’s correct. Not sure what your point is?
International economy means that there is a competition going on between the nations.
If Chinese companies sell more EVs, Germany’s economy suffers.
True or false: A capitalist nation can trade with a communist nation.
What’s your point?
Lol come on man.

I think you forgot what you were arguing about?
