She doesn't sound very bright. I can't remember hearing others calling themselves "capitalists" at all.

True, capitalists rarely self-identify as such. It's usually a label foisted on others.

At the core capitalism is the use of capital (money) to control the social hierarchy, imo.

Are not all forms of governing, no matter what name you use to label it (pick an -ism) built to do this one thing control the social hierarchy? It is funny to read so many people hot about their -isms being better than the others -ism. I love a good discussion about difference of opinion, yet worry about the divide that maybe conquering both sides.
