Should Libertarians Abandon the Word “Capitalism?” (libertarianism.org)

I think capitalism in it's purest form is fantastic. Unfortunately, the word has become associated with greed, wrong actions, and ruthlessness. My 2¢.


Ideal capitalism, sure, but capitalism doesn’t exist any more. People use the word when they are actually talking about corporatism.
