Not sure if that means anything in particular. You just say you work and receive money, I suppose. Or do you mean you live to work, i.e. sort of like the American mentality?

I'd argue that to call yourself a capitalist also means to support the system. Distributing your wealth and investing is just an analytical strategy. You don't need to like capitalism to curate and optimize what you have. That's but a potentially smart time investment you can go for, being part of the system.

A capitalist would have a positive opinion about the market and how it relates to society. Or, if he/she is a bit more sociopathic, might argue it's the best system for him/her, given that it allows a certain level of freedom to climb up (at least within the frame that the ideology lays out - given that "up" is defined w.r.t. to other people and the broader circumstances of man in the world)

No, although I also don't think any sort of communist utopia is possible in my lifetime. In part because that requires violence, and the history of violence makes it so that nobody views the current situation (when the capitalists have been killed or whatever) as utopian society.
However, my criticism of capitalism are bourgeois in the sense that I'm actually very well of within it. There is however a point to be made, that capitalism might fuck up the world, in the long run (e.g. in the resource and climate sense), more than other systems could.
And while I work in tech, I don't think technological progress is even necessarily a good thing. For example, the obsession with curing cancer is a meme. Of course, nobody wants their loved ones die, but overall people live long enough I'd say.
