Capitalism is the accumulation and hoarding of wealth at all costs. Exploitation and abuse are foundational concepts. There is no ethical or moral version of such a system, and so no version of it that “wouldn’t be so bad.” It is immorality and evil distilled into a code of conduct.

There's a reason capitalism is essentially counter to the teachings of all major world religions, many of which are extremely authoritarian in their own way.

One aspect of modern capitalism is predatory loans, which every Abrahamic religion has writings against.

It's pretty telling most religions would not go as far as "poor people can go fuck themselves" despite being used to control people through fear over millenia but the end game of unchecked capitalism is truly as simple as "poor people can go fuck themselves"
