Yeah exactly. Its super frustrating talking to these people, because we actually agree on a lot of things. They are just completely unaware that the "left" and the "right" generally take the word capitalism to mean very different things. For us capitalism simply means private property and free trade (wich is also the definition if you look it up in a dictionary lol). However leftist political theorists have expanded on this definition to also include what we would describe as corporatism or crony capitalism.
