But you don’t have to leave unaddressed the communist lie that only the filthy rich can have “capital.” It used to be understood that the lemonade stand kid had “capital” too.
It’s like Methodists rebuffed their critics by keeping the name which was supposed by their lukewarm foes to mock their pious habits.
This has nothing to do with that communist lie. It has to do with not falling victim to communist manipulation. I’ll try this one more time.
“Capitalism” was invented for the EXACT PURPOSE of making economic freedom sound bad. And it’s working. People do not react all that negatively to “free markets” or “economic freedom.” They react very badly to “capitalism.”
Also understand that we had free enterprise in the early 1800s. But no one called it capitalism until the commies invented the word a bit later.
