    The argument usually stalls because “capitalism” gets used to describe both a market mechanism and a specific set of institutions — social democracy, shareholder primacy, and rentier finance are not the same thing. Critiquing one doesn’t automatically critique the others. A similar distinction came up at https://sportunas.com.de and it clarified the debate.
