meaning that the "true" definition of "capitalism" and "socialism" are such a myriad that even among "free market" people you will get disagreements about points of definition of each term

yeah, it's aka "appeal to purity" and the problem is that for reasons you definitely will understand, the definitions of both of these terms have been confused and muddled for over a century in order to defend the control mechanism
sad but true, and trying to get agreement about any kind of refinement of these things is just simply never going to bear fruit, i've been watching this show for over 20 years and it's not got any better
while i agree with you, it's just not rhetoric that is going to gain any traction either on the edges of our sphere or outside it
