More trust for a conservative who has always rejected capitalism on first principles, than one who has rejected it empirically. Capitalism breeds success. Unequal success certainly. Objecting to it after observing it means rejecting a fair game based on an unwanted outcome.

Also, you're implying that capitalism is the least-intervention model, which I guess depends on your view of what an intervention is, which are necessary and which unacceptable. State enforcement of private property seems like a major intervention.
It depends on whether you view property as a natural or legitimate social institution I guess, because if so, all the microaggressions and greater against a property claim can easily add up to be equal to or greater than the intervention of maintaining property

Even if property is theft, theft is also theft. Property may be the least egregious form of theft, at least in some or most cases

Yes, it tends to ultimately be a question of which way to load the dice. I don't think either view is principally bad. The propertarian path exhibits plenty of problems at scale, the other one's issues at scale are unknown or uncertain.

There are other systems, such as communal property in Scandanavia and some other cultures. If property is an outgrowth of ethology, then it may be that homogeneous and top down property conceptions across heterogeneous groups are the problem, rather than any given relationship.
