Okay, then here is the Von Mises Institute: http://blog.mises.org/18822/marx-was-right-about-capitalism/

Quote, “The term “capitalism” was introduced by anti-capitalists but not by Marx. Its most notable early appearance is in Louis Blanc’s Organisation du Travail (1840), published while Marx was still a grad student in Berlin.”

Oh, by the way, you earlier claimed that Wikipedia didn’t say that the word’s modern sense was originated by communists. You’re wrong. Wiki states, “The initial usage of the term capitalism in its modern sense has been attributed to Louis Blanc in 1850 and Pierre-Joseph Proudhon in 1861.”

“In December 1981, Ludwig von Mises’s widow Margit gave her approval to Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr. to found the Mises Institute. It was formally established in October 1982 and located in Auburn, Alabama. Today, Rockwell serves as chairman and Douglas French is the president.”

Is this the same Lew Rockwell that we have come to know and despise?

The fact that it’s located in Alabama makes no difference to me.

So is the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Hint...conservatives don’t like them, either.

I didn’t say that at all, so don’t put words in my mouth.

“However, I don’t believe that the word was originated by communists.”

I said nothing about the “modern sense.”
