Capitalism is when people mutually consent to exchange their property or services. Both people are better off or they wouldn’t do it.
Government is force.
Capitalism cannot exist without government. Which is why capitalism was established by government. Or more specifically, capitalism was established by the rich. Capitalism came into existence only in the face of international trade. It was created by merchants and bankers, backed by Kings who wanted to bring gold and silver into their Kingdoms through international trade.
Being anti-globalism and capitalist is like being a vegan and only eating pork.
Considering that you live in a town where only 4% of the population doesn't "look like you," I have to question your credibility to lecture others on these matters.
My father was KKK. He actively engaged in the first televised race riot in Cicero, Illinois in 1951, before my time and a whole lot more. Those few days were the proudest moments of his life. Bringing home a new wringer washer he looted was the icing on the cake.
His actions reflected his choices. I make no apology for him or his choices.
I am grateful for having had the opportunity to bear witness to raw hate and violence.
I too had a choice. Follow in his footsteps or develop critical thinking skills and to the best of my abilities, refrain from using a broad brush to paint.

Capitalism can't exist without government protecting both parties equally.
Capitalism came into existence the moment two people voluntarily exchanged property.

1) Capitalism was not established by peasants. It was established by rich bankers and merchants.
2) The reason the Kings of Europe established, promoted, and protected capitalism was to bring money into their Kingdoms. That is the only reason it exists.
3) Capitalism requires the enclosure and privatization of all lands and resources. Yet the original subdivision of that land was carried out by Kings and bankers. The peasants were simply thrown off. But if that land was truly privately owned, the owner wouldn't be required to pay rent(taxes) to the government, or at least he could choose which government he wanted to pay for "protection". Of course that isn't how it works because private property isn't actually a right protected by the government, but rather a privilege granted by the government.
4) For almost all of human history there was essentially no currency, and what little trade there was, was usually bartering. Which makes me wonder, what all societies do you consider capitalism? When did capitalism begin? What country isn't capitalist by your definition?
5) Every capitalist is a globalist. All of them. Every single one. To be anti-globalist and a capitalist is to be retarded.

It's not liberalism. It's Marxism. Marxism leads to violence. Things will get very ugly. I'm ready for it, but I'm not looking forward to it. I'm hoping we can turn this ship around before it's too late.

No, that is just the definition of Trade.
I honestly don't know what capitalism looks like since the US is not a true Capitalist country. We have too much Cartel, oligarch, and Corporate control of monetary and Government levers in the US to call this a pure Capitalist nation.
