Yeah I argued ‘markets get shit done’ until someone drove a thin wedge by saying ‘capitalism is the part where owning things makes money.’
For all the reading and bickering these people do, most are useless at conveying a message. Just using the word “property,” like anyone not inculcated understands their specific sharp-edged definition, has been a constant obstacle for the last century and a half.
The stock market was the smartest thing the ownership class ever invented. Pretend that every pleb has ownership of a company, even though they get no say in its finances or operations. Why would you fight against a system that you supposedly benefit from?
