All capitalism is, at its core, is the system of owning and investing capital for greater returns later. You can have that while regulating things--at least in theory.
An actual dictionary definition of capitalism:
Any definition of capitalism that doesn't in some way mention private ownership of capital is simply wrong.
So your issue is that I didn't use the word "private" in my write-up?
Yes. If you leave out that part you're just describing human behavior in general.
