    Ahah ! So you just change the definition of a word to make it fit your worldview. And yes wikipedia is not a great source but it usually cover the basic stuff. I gave you the link to get you started but I see you’re not interested in educating yourself about the subject.

    I mean, again, you think capitalism mean limited state intervention. It does not. By definition.

    I’ll let you in you own world with your own words and custom definitions !

      Just because someone makes a claim, in this case that the state owning the means of production means the resulting system is still capitalist as opposed to something else, does not make that claim a fact. Just because Marxists believe in state capitalism does not make their views fact. I fundamentally reject the notion that a state controlling the means of production is in any way the same as private ownership as the ways you can engage with private business and the state are very different.

      Don’t make the mistake of thinking that a specific philosophy has the only valid definition of a concept.
