PC gaming has a pricing problem, and the memory crisis is compounding it in a way that's utterly heartbreaking for our hobby (www.pcgamer.com)

I'm curious what the word "capitalism" means to you.

Leaving Marx aside completely for a moment, I see it as "the use of capital" at the most grossly simplified tip of the iceberg. Which broadly means that capitalism refers to people with a lot of money already, using that money as a means of getting more money, without doing any sort of productive work themselves.

And that is exactly the problem at hand, and what MBech meant by the word.

I think you use it to broadly mean "our Western, non-communist system," which is quite a lot to cram into a word.
