    Is a capitalist just someone who believes in private property?

      I would think the image uses the class definition of capitalist. (Part of the owning class, not the working class)

      Otherwise, technically, if the means of production are owned by the people or the state, then other private property(not used for production) can exist without capitalism. So you could have someone who believes in private property but not capitalism. But you’re basically right.

      A capitalist is someone who owns the means of production as private property.

      This is not the same as personal property (your phone, toothbrush, house, etc.)
