I think there's one important distinction.

Capitalism is a "rich-get-richer" system.

In any finite economy, this is immoral, because one person (or small group) wins, and everybody else loses. By definition. And once you're a loser, you're sunk.

So capitalist apologists rely on the illusion/dream of limitless growth because it means they get to pretend that when they steal from you they are somehow "creating value".
