No. Capitalism at least as defined by the Austria school (which I consider to be accurate economics) is a specific process.
Capitalism has and will always be present in human societies but doesn’t require free markets to function.
Infringements on free markets hinders efficacy of capitalism but is not requisite for capitalism to occur.
