Capitalism isn’t the problem here, it’s unregulated capitalism that doesn’t work.

Also, you can dislike it but so far, capitalism tampered with socialism, is the best system we have so far. The best Countries in terms of human happines and opportunities (think the Scandinavian states especially and most of central europe generally) are capitalist democracies. We however realised, unlike the US, that you can’t just let corporation do anything they wan and that the state has an obligation to provide services and help to it’s people.

This anti-capitalist sentiment os so common and not really founded in reality that it feels like a mere buzz word at this point.
