That's simply false, capitalism is the natural order, people looking out for their own interests and working with others only when both parties agree to. Communism is forced labor/partnership, and requires disappearing all those who don't want to be part of the system and/or using extreme force to get dissidents to comply. Capitalism simply lets those who don't want to participate pave their own way.

Since we're already knee-deep in nitpicking terminology, this is describing the general philosophy of anarchism, not capitalism.

What is false? That people were killed and run of their land so that it can be given to private ownership?

Also, what is natural in me owning a factory on the other side of the world when I never left the city I live in?
