Is true free market capitalism good? Yes. Can bad things happen in the process of capitalisms activities? Yes. Just like accidents can happen on the way to the grocery store.

The problem is people have a hard time understanding a system well enough to identify when actions stray outside that system and it becomes something else. This causes them to become confused about the definition of that system. To conflate things that aren’t part of the intended system, as though they are inherent parts of that system.

If you’re claiming to be for fair and open trade with others, but then behind closed doors doing deals with corrupt politicians or whatever, then you are not behaving as a capitalist. But as one of those other things.

It’s easy to confuse societies if you can confuse definitions and language. Hence my reply.
