As Adam Smith said in "The Wealth of Nations":

“People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices.”

This description fits Goldman Sachs to a "T". And I think they would probably like the description, given its origin.

So, to be clear, Goldman Sachs are capitalists.
