I just think about it and it's kinda funny!
Am I politically correct here?

Why is it better to be the most childish in the schoolyard?
During the cold war it was political to call the communist who advocate by overthrow from within and were a terrifying threat a "commie". The term is meant in the spirit of many racial pejoratives.
I think the communist reply, to use the "pig" term from George Orwell's "Animal Farm", and apply it to capitalists was more cerebral. Capitalist pig.
If I were to get into a name calling contest with a 2nd grader I would like to think it wouldnt require me to stoop down to their level to express my little piece of mans inhumanity toward man in their general direction. I should at least be able to do it at the 7th grade level required to read and understand Mr. Orwells writing.
If you are going to stoop to the 2nd graders level by calling them a "cappie" I think it is more representative of your lack of development than it is an appropriate derrogative.

Communism is a political system that strictly controls everything including it's markets..... Capitalism is an economic system and has nothing to do with political decisions.
The comparison is not accurate. Communism and Democracy are a better comparison.

Dont you think capitalists are Captains of industry.
Lets us refer to them as Captains.
IS that nice?

Maybe we would be happier with less name calling. Yes, it shows a certain amount of derision, but is it really productive?
