Can capitalism exist without govt

[Loke]

Well, I try not to be reckless with what I say when I'm talking about things that deal with economics. How people equate capitalism and government's role in it differs vastly from person to person, and considering the general lack of education out there, giving a simple yes or no to a question like that serves no real purpose. If you actually read what I said, I got to a point where I said "no, capitalism could not exist without government".. that was my opinion given my definition of the two words. Everything before that was just me qualifying why I thought it was a poorly phrased questioned. If you actually look up the dictionary definition of capitalism, you'll find that it isn't as cut and dry as you make it out to be.
