I may be participating in capitalism, that shouldn't imply I believe in capitalist ideals; the same way that someone can disagree with communism living in China. They're a part of the system, but they don't necessarily believe in it.
To me a capitalist is a philosophy of profit over everything. That everything and everyone only has value based on what profit they can generate. That the more wealth you obtain the more successful of a person you must be.
Being a successful human has a lot more to it than accumulating wealth. My value as a person should not lie solely in my ability to generate revenue/earnings/profit.
I live in a capitalist society. I am not a capitalist.
