To reiterate my earlier point, it seems you're disagreeing with and/or confused about what I'm saying capitalism is. That's basically what I'm getting at. That "capitalism" isn't a safe word to just throw around and assume you're understood and listened to.
But I do understand those critiques of "capitalism" though generally they don't go so far as to refute any of the core aspects of capitalism. People aren't generally arguing to centralize the means of production. In fact, most of the critiques of "capitalism" is that production and consumption have become too centralized in the hands of private parties and corrupt officials. So barring government seizure of markets (labor, housing, etc.), the argument is mostly that we don't really have functioning markets. Which means the person who is anti-"capitalism" really wants a working capitalism.
Which all are fair points to make. It's just confusing throwing the "capitalism" word around, which is my point here.
