The wealth of those societies in which the capitalist mode of production prevails, presents itself as "an immense accumulation of commodities," its unit being a single commodity.

I believe that this is in fact seen as a deeply controversial and important question by a subset of socialist theoreticians who love talking and dislike saying anything.

Yeah. I'm pretty sure Marx was the first guy to call the system "Capitalism".
Why do you ask this?

Yes, they did.
In one note made by Engels "By 'bourgeousie' is meant the class of modern capitalists..."
Marx wrote "Das Kapital," which makes mention of "capitalism," "capitalists," etc. numerous times.
