May I recommend an education in terminology before one attempts
to malign 'a rose by ANOTHER name'?
America has NOT a capitalist economy but a MIXED economy
with Government controls, regulations and planning to its
detriment.

Typical Libertarian bullshit. America has a slightly mixed
economy which is firmly in the hands of Capitalists. The very
worst of both possibilities.
It's the Capitalist Elites who enjoy the fruits of Socialism
by owning the government. And it's the poor and working class
who enjoy the bitter leftovers of capitalism.

Your blatant contradiction of yourself aside ...
Capitalism requires a SEPARATION of the economy and the
state -- hardly a reality within the US.
As Thomas Sowell stated:
A totalitarian state thrives on propaganda, and
there is no more effective way to limit thought
than to control the language itself. By changing
definitions of words through continual association,
any serious discussion involving the concepts that
the words represents becomes hopelessly muddled.
The words "democracy," "hate" and "racism"
immediately comes to mind.
What better way to malign liberty and freedom than calling
apples, oranges ... blaming the oranges for that which is
otherwise not possible.

The policy of the American government is to leave their
citizens free, neither restraining nor aiding them in
their pursuits. -- Thomas Jefferson to M. L'Hommande, 1787.
