Capitalism is the death of society and aligns the interests of people and corporations alike towards a race to the bottom for maximum exploitation.

What economic concept are you proposing that’s better than the current systems in place?
At least government regulations can help keep capitalism in check, but taking that too far leads to monopolies and dictatorships.

I have an ideal socialist libertarian utopia skin to anarcho-communism in my mind as does just about every leftist. But that’s not the point.
The point is that we need change towards balancing out rampant economic inequality that has been rising since the 80s and the impact of neoliberalism and trickle-down, the undoing of the priorities shift from private ownership and individualism to public and societal welfare and wellbeing. Towards a future where we can work on things that benefit us all, rather than enrich a select few at the expense of all others. Imagine a job that paid well and meant something, instead of bs job slaving away to make the line go up for some rich guy.
The point is that aligning the interests of society in such a way lead to amongst headier arguments of alienation - environmental destruction in a way that is fundamentally unsustainable and robs our children of their futures in many ways.
What you say could have very well been applied to kings in monarchies of old if one were to merely picture a dichotomy of the current world and a worse one. But that dichotomy is false, we have built a better world in many ways since then. We should do so yet again.
