I hear it all the time, from college professors to Hollywood actors, that capitalism = greed,

"Capitalism" is simply people freely trading with each other. We should avoid this Marxist term.

We should take the phrase, "fair trade," back from the moonbats, since this accurately describes the free market, but doesn't sound as antiseptic.

"Capitalism = greed". Yes of course it's a Marxist term, and a direct lie. But Marxists rely mostly on false comparisons to pedal their failed philosophy of institutionalized thievery. To them buying and selling at a higher price is thievery instead, even though no one is being forced to to anything. They would prefer a system where the government forces the price and controls the commodity. As a result, there's no real wealth creation and no balance between supply and demand. Economic chaos in reality.
