Am I saying capitalism is perfect? Definitely not. But I feel like people tend to blame everything that's wrong with the world with capitalism. Problems that would 100% still exist in other economic models.
Case in point, I used to hang out in /r/vegan and people there would blame meat consumption on capitalism. I hate to break it to you but there has never been an economic model in history where people treated animals ethically.
"Capitalism sucks" really has become the blanket statement for a lot of people these days whenever they see something they don't like about the world. I'm sorry but switching to communism, socialism, anarchism, etc isn't going to make people and the world suck any less.
