Entrepreneurs vs Capitalists

Blurring the distinction between the two is how the Right obscures the issue. By conflating even the gentlest criticism of capitalism with "Socialism", and simply declaring Socialism as equivalent to Communism of the Stalinist/Leninist variety, (or even Fascism!) all debate and discussion is deftly suppressed. In fact, it can even be declared as seditious.

Beware of those who trot out the dictionary to prove a point. The meaning of words resides in their contemporary usage, not their formal definition.
