Capitalism is not a cause, it is an effect. It is not the disease, it is a symptom.
The root problem is selfishness. Capitalism is like a Plato’s cave shadow of selfishness - a projection of selfishness onto politics and economic policy.

You’re saying, “There’s a monster that’s killing people.” I’m saying, “Yes, but you’re pointing at its foot. We need to aim for the head.”
You’ll never get rid of the problem by trying to address capitalism in isolation. Even if you were successful, the problem would simply return under a new label.
