I treat every instance of someone uttering the word "capitalism" as an indicator of Shitlib indoctrination. There is zero reason to ever bring it up, otherwise. It's a 100% reliable shibboleth for someone who thinks you can litigate away human flaws and force money into the hands of people doing nothing to be worthy of its value; that you can "fix it" with enough lectures and theory. It's either a child who would never know what they're talking about, or an adult who should know better but has been wholly insulated from the consequences of their terrible belief system.
It's just like how normal people don't use the word "cisgender." Capitalism was just the default and people didn't need a word for it until socialists/communists started astroturfing our language.
Well, not entirely true. Capitalism didn't exist for most of human history. Mercantalism was the much more common predecessor to capitalism.
Capitalism just feels like the default in "The West" because they didn't have generations crippled by Communism and fascism like much of the rest of the world.
