Ideas have consequences. Capitalism is an idea around which people will organize their laws and customs to the end of some benefit to themselves. And if you can control who gets to make such decisions, it is easier to make life good for yourself. We all love a system that works for us. And, we surmise, anyone for whom it does not work, well, there must be something wrong with them.
But we need not believe everything we think.
Here is the strangest thing: Indiegogo has a charity fundraising for freezing Lakota Indians. Very good, they are close to their goal. But how did it come to pass that a people living upon vast energy resources are cold this winter, perniciously? (And I wonder, has anyone checked in with the Nakota and Dakota?)
Capitalism protects usury, which is the means necessary and sufficient to aggregate power in ever fewer hands, to the end that whole groups can be excluded, if they are too many to manage or too uninteresting to allow to continue, or simply in the way. In any event, when power is concentrated into too few hands to be able to know, let alone care, about freezing Indians, then the problem is manifest.
And it is not a problem of redistribution, since no group in USA has more bureaucracies attending to their every need, than the Indians. Bureaucracy is just the means the capitalists insulate themselves from their victims. Capitalists say "We have bureaucracies, and we are thriving. You have bureaucracies and you are dying? What is wrong with you?" Well, the difference is capitalists own the bureaucracies. Both bureaucracies do as they are told.
There are other systems, we even had better systems, but we adapted capitalism, the hamiltonian project, and we got off course. (We talk Jeffersonian, legislate hamiltonian.) Our laws were corrupted as traced by the fine Marxist lawyer in his work Transformation of American Law. Now, Marxism is just as bad as capitalism, but at least marxists get their facts straight (and this book is generally considered by all lawyers to be the go-to book on USA legal history.)
Capitalism is failing in the West, because it is intrinsically wrong. Like a match that flares up before going out, it looks pretty good to those who are benefitting, but not so good to those freezing Sioux. They were willing to negotiate and cooperate, but we did not have to. Usury is at the heart of capitalism (capital aggregated, only possible through usury).
And then we hate those we harm. That is a good summary of capitalism. We hate those we harm.

What alternative is there to Capitalism? I thought Capitalism meant free markets?
If you are looking for a system ordered to benefit an elite, then the alternative is communism. Capitalism is based on a system of aggregation of capital, and power derived therefrom, usually in usury. Yes, Capitalists wear a free market mantle to hide the reality, so the confusion is understandable. But free markets are free of force or fraud or both, they are voluntary, and capitalism only works if it is backed by state-violence.
