>just as capitalism can

I disagree with that statement, because capitalism is just a market and markets arise and behave the exact same way whenever and wherever they are allowed to. "Implementing capitalism" isn't a thing you do: it means that you stop doing something (suppressing market activity).

Markets existed long before capitalism. So saying "capitalism is just a market" is just plainly incorrect.
Markets couldn't have existed before capitalism, because capitalism is just a market.
