Agreed, and here is how: Capitalism = (capital = money) + (ism = system) = money system. The central feature and source of awesome power for the capitalists is their debt based private global monetary system. Capitalism is a parasite on the back of free enterprise, the two are often and wrongly conflated. I say, free enterprise from the debt parasite of capitalism.

Nations need to reclaim their sovereign right to issue debt-free money, the most vital prerogative of democratic self-governance, and reclaim their resources for the general welfare of their people.

Any government that does not control its money is controlled by those who do and is an oligarchy, it cannot be a democracy. Money is power embodied in law and thus to claim democracy it must be made a public function.
