It's a lot simpler than what everyone here is saying tbh. They don't know what it is. Most of them think capitalism is just markets existing. Or some other random definition they made up in their head. So they're defending the imaginary version of it that they made up, which of course they like.
In fact the Epstein class wants you to be miseducated about capitalism. They have class consciousness and want that we don’t.
It is worse, most people equate capitalism with the monetary system and get confused how they could buy something without capitalism.
