    Maybe just stop calling it capitalism and rebrand it greedism. Truthful and clear, easy to qualify as one.of the seven deadly sins for easy reference.

          Better to treat people with respect and just explain them. If we try to oversimplify everything, we make it confusing and create a section of people that are in the know, and a section that aren’t. That disrupts the mass line.

      Greed is not a system, capitalism is.

      With greedism, the distinction between systemic problems and personal values is lost.

      That being said, the understanding of capitalism can be better explained by adding qualifiers, like

      Rentier capitalism, monopoly capitalism, etc,

      And understanding the differences with industrial capitalism.
