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.

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!

Capitalism is a social system based on the recognition of individual rights, including property rights, in which all property is privately owned. Under capitalism the state is separated from economics (production and trade), just like the state is separated from religion. Capitalism is the system of of laissez faire. It is the system of political freedom.
I value individual rights, therefore I promote capitalism.
