Capitalism is when... the government says you can't launch your product? That sounds very free-market.

For many, "capitalism" has lost all original meaning and is instead a synonym for "republicans" or "MAGA".
Sounds like many people are idiots blinded by ideological lenses.
Trump just says plainly what the republicans have always been for. Now its just without euphamism.
Some of us remember "Trickle down economics", from Reagan. More like pissed-on. And Reagan treated HIV like a 'gay plague that would solve itself'. And 'welfare queen' was a euphamism for 'inner city black people'. Or the fact that Regan thought Murphy Brown was a real reporter.
Point being is its the same party, same postures, same intent. Now, its without euphamism. 'Eating cats and dogs' versus 'those people'.
Capitalism is any time rich people do bad things.
And the more bad they are, the more capitalist it is.
Capitalism and free markets are distinct things often conflated.
One can market socialism.
One can have crony capitalism.
