I'm gonna be real, I'm not reading all of that. But from the first few paragraphs, I assume that you'd say communism has also never been tried?
I am not saying that Keynesian nonsense hasn't been tried. Austrian economics is done at small scale. I didn't say "that's not REAL capitalism" I am saying if we are playing an economic version soccer and you keep touching the ball with your hands, we are no longer playing soccer. Just like when the state breaks the rules and centralizes a communist system. You are no longer playing the same game AS defined. This isn't some "well a true capitalist would have a cigar." trite bullshit. So, try not to strawman my argument while using a fallacious argument.

First off, if you don’t read what I wrote, you cannot give a well rounded critique.
But, I’m willing to continue to engage you and will try to maintain lower word count response.
Give me your top 3 or 4 tenets of capitalism and we can gauge whether you indeed do not fall under “No True Scotsman Fallacy”.
It's really just the natural exchange of value.
1. Resources are scarce and need an efficient distribution mechanism.
2. Humans act.
3. Human action shows preference.
That's basically it. I don't make claims about healthcare or whether exploitation is wrong.
Those three axioms are the basis of why people exchange value.
