One of the most commonly misused aspects of basic grammar.
Usually taught in the first year of education, a capital letter is used at the start of a sentence, and for names and titles/headings. This includes the names of people, organizations, places, days and months, and (often forgotten) the name of a language, brand or ethnicity. There are a few other examples, which a quick Google search will explain. It is considered acceptable to use block capitals instead of italics to emphasize a specific word or point. It is retarded to use capitals for every word, or just your favorite words, or sporadically throughout a text.

Correct use of capitalization:
1. In other news, the Prime Minister of Sweden visited Washington today, and my tiny little nipples went to France.
2. My assignment is in on Tuesday, Peter. I am going to Wikipedia it so that I progress no further with my education because I prefer to go on Facebook, buy myself presents on eBay and watch Sons of Anarchy online :).
(note for titles: 'joining' words such as 'and', 'of' and 'the' don't need capital letters)
Incorrect use of capitalization:
1. Lame Facebook status: 'Just Remember You Are Always A Shining Star'
2. Person 1: 'JOHN ARE YOU GOING TO THE CINEMA TONIGHT?'
Person 2: 'Not if you ask me in caps lock... not cool man...'
3. 'Omg why aren't we Allowed to wear fake tan to school anymore? I like being orange!!!' (allowed did not require a capital letter for ANY REASON)

Something I'd probably advocate if what the rich wanted us to believe was actually true, that the poor are lazy and the rich are hard working.
Moron: I'm a capitalist because I know that every poor person is lazy and that if I work hard, I'll be rich because only hard workers get rich.
Smart guy: So the rich never screw anyone over to get there?
Moron: Not at all! Don't let those stupid liberals convince you otherwise.
Smart guy: You think capitalism is perfect?
Moron: Yes!

A system that never really existed and is made fun of by people who desire socialism, which also has never really existed.

marx became popular because of capitalism, which sold his books, not socialism, which took them away.

A system of poltical, social, and economic organization, in which, physical force is barred from human relationships. To the extent that it has been tried, its results have been amazing. I am typing this on a computer made by the capitalist system, for instance.
While there has been no example of pure capitalism, America at certain times in history was close, and Hong Kong has been close to pure capitalism. Notice the level of economic develop of these places under capitalism.
