    You presented a numbers based claim that this happens most of the time. You then made an exception that alters the entire definition of your claim from “most” to “some” which invalidates your claim.

    You are fundamentally misunderstanding the flaw in your argument because you haven’t looked at your initial claim.

      No, I submitted a claim based on what happens as capitalism develops, with the requirement that there be capital left to imperialize. You invented a nonsensical viewpoint and substituted it for my own as a gotcha, and rather than accepting that you misread.

      You are fundamentally inventing a flaw in my argument because you didn’t understand my initual claim, hence why others have bolded my original claim in response to you in order to get you to see where you went wrong.
