@BigTrees4ever There were many capitalist theorists. According to the metaphysical philosophy of John Locke, wage labor is essentially renting yourself via "self ownership". Employment is literally renting another human being as if they're property. Employment is a rental contract, like if you rented capital (say, a chainsaw from Home Depot), you pay rent for the "time preference" (basically the cost of time) for a piece of property. Capitalism is based on a principle of self ownership, which sounds empowering, until you realize that most people don't own enough capital goods to make enough income other than themselves, and must rent out the authority over themselves as pieces of "human capital". This is a process of dehumanization where human beings are valued for their return on investment as capital goods. This is why, at the very least, capitalism needs unions and safety nets (or abolishment), or else the system won't value people for their human value. Importantly we must also think about our sick, elderly, and disabled people, as they can't provide competitive economic return for the investor class to value. We must figure out a way to change this economic system if we wish to value each other.
"Taking back the word capitalism" isn't going to save us, we need social ownership of the means of production to make economic democracy a Right, just like political democracy is a Right.
E: you really call Hitler a socialist?? 🤦🏼🤦🏼🤦🏼 Next the DPRK with be 'democratic'. Please, take some time to learn some more political philosophy.
