Capitalists don’t hate capitalism, they create it. The problem is defining capitalism as something fair and balanced. That it is intrinsically linked to open markets, to “free trade”.

Which is incorrect. Capitalism uses accumulation of wealth, of capital, as a measurement for success. Not how useful something is, not how much good it can do, not how effectively a product is made or how well it functions… simply how much money you can make from it.

That is what capitalism is, and what capitalists focus on. To believe otherwise, as though they’re somehow corrupting a righteous system, is to delude oneself.
