Capitalism simply means that people own "capital" and can use it as they see fit. Capital can mean things like money, land, buildings, machines, etc. The advantage of this is that people can create things if they think it makes sense. A common misanalysis is to believe we live in a capitalist system. Unfortunately, this isn't the case. Our system is based on corrupt money, which is used to enforce corrupt rules that prevent us from enjoying free capitalism. This corruption leads to poverty and exploitation. Those who profit from it ("looters") use the term "capitalism" to deceive the population and further enrich themselves unjustly.
