but that doesn't make it capitalism.

When the funds to finance, outfit, fuel, feed, transport armaments, ect ect are extorted from the people through taxes and inflation it disqualifies those exchanges from being labeled capitalism. Unless you consider that capitalism, but most around here (i think) view it as fascism.

I think some of the big misunderstandings between many progressives and libertarians just comes down to words meaning different things to different groups...
