True, but fraud is not at all specific to capitalism in practice or theory.

I agree with that, but not everyone does. So at least being careful about _is_ and _ought_ (or practice and ideals) makes that discussion slightly less unproductive.
You'd probably agree that maximizing profit is a corner stone of capitalism. In practice this principle is way above staying within the bounds of morals or laws.
That seems like a fully generalised critique for almost all -isms.
