You will also need trillions of dollars in investment to operate at a loss for years so that you can have any chance whatsoever of competing against the established oligopolies and gaining any sort of foothold in the industry.

Because chinese are more rich than burgers and make better computers too

That makes communism worst somehow

Try again retard

"capital" is not a dungeons and dragons spell you just get to cast to materialise market dominance out of nowhere, retard.

Capital is what you use to cover your operating expenses until you're able to get a foothold. If you think only Amazon can start a business you are too retarded to look outside and see all the restaurants in your city

>Business goes under anyways because some gigacorp decided to compete with your business using resources that can only be acquired by being a multibillionaire
>I'm no longer have a business
>Same gigacorp is also about to go under because of bad choices and giving execs million dollar bonuses
>They get bailed out by the US govt indefinitely

Aaaah, capitalism.

You can’t. Under communism all businesses are state controlled. There are some exceptions, but generally no, and they are rarely profitable.
