I have some bad news for you if you think profit sharing is going to replace free cash flow as a metric for company expansion. What happens if there's no profit? Have you been watching that Khadim Hussain Rizvi video where he tells the Pakistan Army to just repay the IMF loans' principal?



If there's no profit, the investors and the company owners have taken the risk and share it equally. What's the problem?

I'm not aware of Pakistan's Army deal with the IMF. If they took on an interest bearing loan, it's their problem they got themselves into.

The fact that there are other examples of exploitation and fraud is tangential. The argument is that interest is one form of exploitation, it's not the only form.


My point is unequally shared risk is exploitation, but maal-e-ghanimat isn't?


Ghanayem is not unequally shared risk. People go to war for reasons, sacrifice their lives, and the winner takes bounties.


They didn’t have one. Rizvi was encouraging a coup for them to deal with loans of civilian govt
