The funniest thing about this kind of troll posting is that they always try to substitute in Marxist terminology in place of regular words in ways that don't make any sense. It would be so much easier for you to just say that you haven't read any Marx and that you don't like Hasan without having to create a post with 17 layers of irony. You are embarrassing. You post as if you are a superior leftist but don't understand even basic Marxist concepts.
Money and Capital are not interchangeable terms. Capital is a specific type of money. Money is only Capital if it is used for the purpose of buying commodities which increase in value and then are sold for a profit. If you spend money on a candybar and then you eat that candybar, then it is not capital. If you watch a stream and give money to a streamer, it is just money, not capital. Most people don't have capital or at least in a significant way.

Left-libs have been using "human capital" a lot and it irks me in a similar fashion.
Could "human capital" loosely translate to variable capital?
No, they literally mean things like education, the size of their "network", health/physical fitness, etc.
