Why do so many defend capitalism?

It’s a lot simpler than what everyone here is saying tbh. They don’t know what it is. Most of them think capitalism is just markets existing. Or some other random definition they made up in their head. So they’re defending the imaginary version of it that they made up, which of course they like.

It is worse, most people equate capitalism with the monetary system and get confused how they could buy something without capitalism.
