I have studied all of these things for decades. You are avoiding the details here. I deal in details.

I like trying to make money. I want as much money as I can get. What do you call that? I like to call it free market capitalism as opposed to crony state capitalism. Employers need more money in order to distribute the money to the employees. When I lived in Vietnam, 2012-2017, I was impressed with all the employers there were. I support small businesses. I like that. I like it when people turn their houses into hotels, stores, cafes, businesses. I love freelancers, independent contractors who are like employers unto themselves.
There are so many problems out there. One of the problems is when governments help certain companies like Google, Facebook, Amazon, etc, etc, and that is not capitalism. These groups are tech cartels. That is not capitalism. Monopolism is not capitalism. Technocracy is not capitalism. Yes, people say they are, but they are not. The problem is that people infiltrated America and did bad things and then blamed it on capitalism. So, they came in, especially in the early 1900's, and they did bad stuff, and got companies and banks and governments to collude and work together and do certain things that were very bad for the world, long story short and people blame those things on capitalism as opposed to Luciferianism and Agenda 2030 and Big Pharma and all of these big problems and big things. I love capitalism. I hate globalism. I fight against globalism, etc.
For me, the core of the problem is denial and heartlessness. It begins within the self and spirals out into all areas of life. I agree that we have seen large structures and entire societies built from that heartlessness and denial - using capitalism as a vehicle. Capitalism, really is as simple as trade combined with private ownership of the means of production. I am not aware of any other more accurate definition, but if you have one then by all means provide it here.
Capitalism, as I have defined it, implies several built in problems - which I went over in some detail in a small essay I posted to steem previously.
Removing capitalism doesn't automatically fix the underlying problems, since they are within the hearts and minds of people. However, it is also true that there are fundamental, systemic problems with capitalism too that won't go away just because government or cartels do.
I want to make government smaller. That is my focus. Also, I want to make towns and sheriffs great again. I prefer the wild wild west. Small towns should be like countries in and of themselves to some extent. Local communities should try to help each other out as opposed to having federal government do everything for people.
