A free market is often (not necessarily) a characteristic of capitalism, but it’s not what makes a system capitalist. Capitalism is specifically when the means of production (the “capital”) are privately owned (by a single “capitalist” or a group of shareholder capitalists).
This is opposed to socialism where the working class owns the means of production. Socialism vs capitalism basically comes down to who owns the mills and factories , the people who work there or some fat cat on a yacht somewhere? You can Google it for better explanations than I can give.
I don’t see why someone would. You are obliged to do the minimum research yourself if you want to meaningfully participate in these discussions. You are arguing for your gut feeling as reality, and being belligerent with people who disagree. This is an incredibly common pattern and it indicates that everyone is better off just ignoring you.
That’s not what capitalism means. Nice projection though!

Maybe you should try a cursory internet check for the definition first
