We have to stop using the Marxist term, "capitalism." Free enterprise, the free market, or free exchange are all preferable terms, and describe the "system" better.

In reality, the marketplace isn't an artificial construct. It is simply the state of nature. Exchanging goods and services is as natural as breathing. Socialism is an artificial and harmful political construct.

Thank you. Well said. Needs to be repeated often.

and don’t forget Christian virtues help free markets, Honesty, Truthfulness, Diligence, and Gratefulness. We can see the results of loss of all virtue in the government, banking and wall street mess.
