I’m not a socialist. But let’s back up so we can maybe use logic and reason going forward. When, in your opinion has “true” capitalism ever exited?

According to Adam Smith, capitalism can and will evolve into the “parasite”.
But again, you tell me what capitalism is and when it has actually functioned uninterrupted.
