"I know! Capitalism, that god-given right to make money off of someone else regardless of repercussions or even morality"
Which has led to actual progress of most people not being peasants working in a field and an industrial revolution which allows you to type your comment on technology that only exists thanks to capitalists. Combined with free markets has not only lifted some people out of poverty but is causing the greatest rise out of poverty globally.
"evil concept of trying to do right by as many people as possible"
Why do you believe that isnt part of capitalism?
"Because even outright bartering between equals does not qualify as "capitalism"."
When you say capitalism do you mean free trade? Capitalism is about who owns the means of production. About gathering that capital to invest into what will hopefully be productive.
