Where does it say we're "Capitalist"?

[Wolfstrike]

We call our country "Capitalist" because Karl Marx says it is.

Do we call the country Helter Skelter because Charlie Manson says it is?

Who cares how Charlie Manson, Karl Marx, Jack The Ripper, or any other mass murderer describes our country?

In America , the Socialists don't have a monopoly on regulations.

The founders never described the country as "Capitalist", why use Karl Marx lingo?

Some call it an Idiocracy because YOU prove it is ;-)

Actually that would be Paul McCartney. And it's a reference to an amusement park slide thing, not a country.

The first recorded use of the term capitalism derives from novelist William Thackery:

The Prince de Moncontour took his place with great gravity at the Paris board, whither Barnes made frequent flying visits. The sense of capitalism sobered and dignified Paul de Florac: at the age of five-and-forty he was actually giving up being a young man, and was not ill-pleased at having to enlarge his waistcoats, and to show a little gray in his mustache. --The Newcomes -- Memoirs of a Most Respectable Family (1854)​
