Was not the word “capitalism” invented by Marx?

I prefer the words “freedom of the person and his property.”

Yes. Capitalism is a pejorative word coined by the enemies of freedom. The choice is always: Freedom or Slavery. And it doesn’t matter what percentage of people think Slavery is right. It isn’t.

Only one side can win..

YES! Capitalism isn't really isn't an ism. It is just freedom and what happens in the absence of man-made isms. Isms are theoretical systems created by the mind of man. "This is the way I, in my infinite wisdom, think things should be." Free markets are what happens without the isms. It is just freedom. It is letting reality rule. Instead of trying to bend reality to our whims.

Come up with one word for that, like "conservanomics," or something, and you will have a winner.

Time for FR to coin another word!
