As a libertarian, I don't think you and I mean the same things by "capitalism". Could you explain what you mean by "capitalism", and "unrestrained capitalism"?
Given this post it's pretty clear that A-Lurker calls an exceptionally stupid and shortsighted version of egoism "capitalism". I don't know why.
What I'm talking about when I say that is private ownership and enterprise. When I say unrestrained that means no laws or regulation. For example there are regulations which make companies write the ingredients on food product labels.
No laws or regulation? I hope you know that most people who advocate for capitalism aren't anarchists, and those of them who are believe in free-market laws. So there's no one who's in favor of "no laws or regulation".
Yes I do know that. I nearly mentioned that but didn't. There is of course a wide range of regulation beliefs. Some people do advocate for very little. You are right though, no one does call for no laws or regulation. From that some people can also learn that the ideas I have are not new or alien but are actually just an extension or using the ideas already in place.
