I'd hardly call the nefarious actions you describe capitalism. Capitalism is private property and free markets.

That said, I agree that governments can and do interfere with free markets and property ownership to push their agenda.



Free-market capitalism is only one several capitalist subtypes, a fringe one at that. Also it's "private ownership of capital or means of production" thus ensuring a few masters rule over many wage slaves.


Good grief. Government ownership of means of production is where few masters rule. Startups and entrepreneurs are what you get with private ownership.
