I think I agree, people think 'capitalism' is it, but there used to be something called, 'the free market'. It seems through branding, and labeling, things that may of just been considered 'living' got a name, then they change it; just a great means of easy control over duration.

I agree with the free market. You are absolutely correct in many aspects.

Please check it a post I just submitted, and listen to the podcast, because it details the brainwashing economic double speak that has infected economic academia. It details some of the actual history of the meaning free market, reform, working capital, versus the aristocratic inherited "renter class". The bankers have taken over. They stole the terminology, and rebranded it.

My eyes were opened, as I hadn't heard any of this obvious (but cleverly concealed) economic reality. It brings together the historical ideas that both progressives and conservatives share.

The banks divided and conquered us. It's all down the memory hole. This is podcast tells the basic story. (https://saidit.net/s/DownTheMemoryHole/comments/aum/guns_butter_the_vocabulary_of_economic_deception/)
