Capitalism is directing and manipulating those forces towards accumulation and endless growth, following an ethos of "more is more and more is inherently good"
I suspect that there would be a shitload more anticapitalist people in the world if everyone was aware that markets and capitalism aren't synonyms..
Capitalism is not equal to smuggling or free markets. Capitalism means the private ownership of the means of production, and a market economy is possible under other systems.
