<blockquote>"Capitalism" is a system in which people are allowed to exchange and accumulate goods freely.</blockquote>
That's what the word means. But our capitalism? The one we have? It's not that. It's not optimal. It's not efficient. It's not even fair.
But then, the then-accepted concept of "Divine Right of Kings" was never what it purported to be either, was it?

You mean "our political system". Feel free to find a name for it. Capitalism is taken, it means voluntary trade and savings. Stop listening to politicians trying to smear Capitalism. Wake up.
