Obama recognized at his lecture that capitalism produces "a lot of wealth" compared to Cubans trapped in the 1950s.
Karl Marx's "capitalism" referred to the huge cartels and combines acquiring great amounts of "capital" to be merged with government regulators under socialism, and then merged into a utopian c*******t system with no managers. C*******ts need "capital" (money) too to survive.
This has nothing to do with small businesses competing for customers and consumers. I think the President has a personal distaste against small entrepreneurs driven by passion.
America was envisioned to be a country where "free market" capitalism could flourish with a "government "hands off" understanding. What we have now is "cartel capitalism" with "control freaks" dictating policy to those who are trying to make their small businesses to survive it.

Yes, your definition is perfect: "What we have now is 'cartel capitalism' with 'control freaks' "
Who wouldn't be suspicious of a government that declares it loves us but does not trust us to run our own affairs?
Here we struggle under this giant, unconstitutional 4th branch of government and its rule by decree, the Vice President assigned oversight to some 645 bureaucracies of unelected officials that cannot be fired, which usurped $1.8 trillion dollars in annual funding; that's beyond the Appropriations Committee allotment of $1.4 trillion to the Congressional annual budget, where the bureaucrats act like judge, jury and executioner.
If anybody thinks the Democrats are Robin Hood, stealing from the rich to give to the poor, just take a look at their overhead! $21 trillion in National Debt, just for starters. We little people haven't seen a dime of that money.
Sortta reminds us of the Clinton Foundation, suckering $2billion from corporate contributions with 90% overhead and 10% left for charities.
