Actually, "capitalism" is just a derogatory term invented by Engels IIRC to damage free trade among peoples and between individuals.

It was one of the first attempts of his and Marx's socialism to insert government into natural human transaction and communication.

“Capitalism is Free Enterprise dressed up as a moral system.”

Well, “Capitalism” was intended as a derogatory term (as are most -isms) because Marx wanted to destroy it.
