You must not know many right-libertarians and American conservatives who make the distinction between "crony-capitalism" and "free-market capitalism" and how "free-market capitalism" will solve all of the problems that exist under "crony-capitalism" then?
So yes, many capitalists talk about how their purer capitalism never existed. Capitalism also came about through the liberal revolutions of the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries, and many of these revolutions were bloody and lead to oppressive dictatorships. Have you ever heard of Napolean? Did imperialism and colonialism never exist?
Capitalist countries have never become feudalist, because capitalism was in part a revolution meant to address feudalism. But there are many modern capitalists like Hans-Hermann Hoppe who are sympathetic to feudalism and whose ideas of capitalism look very feudalistic in character.
Of course most capitalists are liberals and are anti-feudalism, but if liberal-capitalism were threatened who knows where the liberal-democratic state would go ideologically?
