Now, I'll apologise right here, for a massive mis-step. Samantha is of
course presumably not at all happy with the current system, either, but
would offer a different solution.

And strikes me as the essence of the thing:

Anti-Capitalism is, in a nutshell "Capitalism is bad"

Libertarianism is, if I'm not wrong: "The current system is bad, but the
current system != Capitalism"

Is this accurate?
