You might read this: http://www.americanteeth.org/2015/06/21/why-i-m-a-capitalist...
When I think of the word capitalist, I think: "using markets to allocate resources & products". When you use that word, you think of... well I'm not sure, but it's some kind of boogeyman that you think is self-evident.
The author of the post is himself a social-democrat or some sorts, and supports redistribution, but he still recognizes the basics of how well markets work.

The fact that the nominal government isn't the de facto government of every part of the country doesn't mean that unregulated capitalism rules.
(Of course, unregulated capitalism is an oxymoron; capitalism involves active government intervention to enforce a very specific model of property rights; it is a particular application of regulation, not it's absence.)
