Let us not forget the words of Thomas Jefferson’s First Annual Message to Congress :
”Agriculture, manufactures, commerce, and navigation, the four pillars of our prosperity, are the most thriving when left most free to individual enterprise.”
That is what the Democrat Party Leadership really wants to end. Not Capitalism.
BTW, Karl Marx popularized the words “capitalist” and “capitalist mode of production” to attack our free market, free enterprise system, without having to reference the word “free”.

Our country is infested with a Fifth Column movement at MSNBC, NEW YORK TIMES, CNN, WASHINGTON POST, ATLANTIC MAGAZINE, New York Daily News, Time, ETC., and their countless Yellow Journalists, who work hand in hand with the Democrat Party socialist/communist leadership to plunder, paralyze and destroy our free market, free enterprise system.
Blue liberal states are striving and prospering while red states are falling behind and blaming illegal immigrants for stealing their minimum wage jobs.
Whatever the heck you want to call what the Democrats are doing.... is apparently working out very well.
But, as with pornography, most people know it when they see it.

"To lay with one hand the power of the government on the property of the citizen [a working person’s earned wage] and with the other to bestow upon favored individuals, to aid private enterprises and build up private fortunes is none the less a robbery because it is done under forms of law and called taxation."____ Savings and Loan Association v.Topeka,(1875).[/i][/b]
"The law has been used to destroy it's own objective; It has been applied to annihilating the justice that it was supposed to maintain; to limiting and destroying rights which it's real purpose was to respect. The law has placed the collective force at the disposal of the unscrupulous who wish, without risk, to exploit the person, liberty, and property of others. It has converted plunder into a right in order to protect plunder. And it has converted lawful defense into a crime, in order to punish lawful defense." "But it is also true that a man may live and satisfy his wants by seizing and consuming the products of the labor of others. This process is the origin of plunder." --- The Law by Frederic Bastiat (1801-1850) French economist, statesman
There was a woman speaking at the DNC convention last night who holds public office who does want to end capitalism though....
Actually, the Democrat Party Leadership wants to severely curtail "capitalism" utilized by our free market, free enterprise system, but keep government monopolized and controlled "capitalism" alive, as in the green energy money laundering type of operation which funneled 80 percent of green energy money to their donors.

That is what the Democrat Party Leadership wants to end. Not Capitalism. The Democrat Party Leadership is just fine with taking a portion of your earned wages and then “investing” that “capital” to advance their notoriously evil ends.

“Capital” and “ism” is not the same as “capitalism”.
cap·i·tal·ism
noun: capitalism
an economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state.
I don’t know what kind of trope you are trying to spin, but yes, many democrats now want to change dramatically the balance between capitalism and socialism. As you said in your post, Democrats want to do away with “free markets”. That is hardcore socialism/Communism the likes of only a few countries around the globe have. Even the economies the dems point to in Europe that we supposedly socialist, are very much based on capitalism.
Thank you for your opinion.
The significant feature of “capitalism” is the investment and manipulation of capital to achieve an anticipated profit and/or goal.
cap·i·tal
/ˈkapədl/
noun
wealth in the form of money or other assets owned by a person or organization or available or contributed for a particular purpose such as starting a company or investing.
“rates of return on invested capital were high”
synonyms: money, finance(s), funds, the wherewithal, the means, assets, wealth, resources, reserves
.
Obama/Biden's green energy money laundering operation is a form of capitalism in which 80 percent of the "capital" invested went to Obama's donors.

Safe way to assuage the far lefties without ever having to do anything. Parts of the GND are actually very good and will be followed up on. But in it's entirety, never. You guys (and a WHOLE lot of moderate dems) will see to that even if you're in the minority.
Yup. The following is very good for democrat donors:

Frederic Bastiat's quote is without foundation as applied to our constitutionally limited system of government.
In fact "the law" [our Constitution] has been violated to avoid the defined and limited powers granted, in order to accomplish nefarious evil ends.
The fault in not found in our Constitution, but in a failure to enforce its text and documented legislative intent which gives context to its text.
