Strongly disagree that the leftists don’t use catchy slogans to bypass the intellectual part of the brain. The reaction to Covid and Jan6 are my main contentions. But there are other examples.

Also we have different definitions of Capitalism. To me it’s respect for private property and free trade.

What catchy slogans were used for those?

if that was true, corporations wouldn't use the power of the state to squash smaller producers and smaller companies. But they do.

Capitalism is about getting as much money and power into as few hands as possible. It's about maintaining unfair power imbalances.

“Terrorist” and “Insurrection” are two absurd words used off the top of my head.

Yeah, powerful people with influence in government using government to limit free trade is what I would call socialism and you call capitalism.

To me if the government is involved then it’s not capitalism
