The misunderstanding is that Americans misuse the word capitalism completely.

Capitalism is government by the capitalist class.

Corporate monopolies are inherent.

Capitalism is based on usery, lending money with compound interest, exploiting workers, using the state and the police to enforce laws that benefit the corporate monopolies. That's what capitalism is.

The word “government” is not included in the definition of capitalism.

You don't even know what the word government means...

That's why I had to write government instead of state, because Americans don't understand the difference

But I meant state, the state. The centralised authority that governs over you.

The centralized authority that governs over me does not have to exist for my participation in a capitalist economy to exist. Capitalism can exist in anarchy.
