"Capitalism means the ideology (ism) of capital or capitalists. Before Marx came along, the pure free-marketeer Thomas Hodgskin had already used the term capitalism as a pejorative; capitalists were trying to use coercion - the State - to restrict the market.
Capitalism, then, does not describe a free market but a form of statism, like communism. Free enterprise can only exist in a free market." — Samuel Edward Konkin III, An Agorist Primer #quotes #agorism
