I myself use capitalism when it's useful to discussion. Free-enterprise however is the more accurate term.
The opposite of free-enterprise of course is government controlled enterprise ... which is to say, Marxism. Just the truth. The lie about workers being in control of production is just a political convenience useful to garner political power. The only time workers have ever been in charge of production has been under the free-enterprise system when employees have owned the company. As an example, I offer that the dominant grocery chain in Iowa is employee owned ... but it most assuredly is not socialist, either in name or action.
Government is, and has always been, a necessary evil. To give government more than the minimal power to accomplish fundamental checks and balances though is, well, foolish in the extreme. So-called socialist governments have historically very badly abused such powers, killed millions upon millions of people and ensured shared misery for hundreds of millions of others.
