    i mean if you want to get that reductive little girls selling lemonade at a lemonade stand is a capitalist enterprise.

      Sort of. Lemonade stands are more hobby activities than a business run for profit though. Other than being illegal, a gang is just an ordinary business from an economic perspective.

        lol couldn’t you say gangs are more of a hobby too and not just a business run for profit? they hang out with each other, tell jokes, have an entire community and culture, their own form of language etc.

        i get that lemonade stands aren’t really a for profit business because they’re just activities their parents let their children do for money, but the point is if you get reductive enough anything you do for money you can label a capitalist enterprise.
