I agree with you, but I think when people complain about "capitalism" today, what they mean essentially is "greed", meaning profits above all other concerns. Obviously that's not the precise definition of capitalism, but I see that as an example of spoken language evolving over time.
- marcinzm 3y agoMy point is that greed always exists with or without capitalism. Many attempts over the last 150 years have been made under the assumption that "capitalism" is the problem and they all failed because "greed" is the problem. If you remove "capitalism" then people will simply find a new means to satisfy their "greed" because people are rather clever actually.
