Now you are equating capitalism with usury.  Capitalism is a false word,
because it conflates two very different things.  I am not opposed to
"capitalism", because capitalism is a null concept.  I am opposed to
usury and exploitation.

The Marxists invented the word "Capitalism" because they wanted to
destroy Western society.  They took the concept of usury (evil) and
the concept of freedom to innovate and trade as one saw fit (good), and
combined the two into one concept.  Is it any wonder people argue
endlessly about whether "Capitalism" is good or bad?  It is a false
concept.
