More like This Is 'Murica, though admittedly there is significant overlap.
"Capitalism" is a marxist term for an oppressive economic system that will inevitably collapse under popular revolt. What the US had was economic freedom, and I say "had" because I'm not sure there's as much overlap with that freedom these days as with socialism; too much regulation and the US spends more on welfare than it notoriously does on it's military, and a lot of that military spending also amounts to welfare pork.
Eh. Maple syrup is the more decadent thing to use, but far as I know it's decadent largely because of some highly un-capitalistic shenanigans by our northern neighbors...
