ok i'll think of this & answer in more detail later.

I disagree. I disagree with this way of thinking: the problem is outside.
The problem is us. We are the corruption of capitalism, socialism, democracy. We are racism, sexism and homophobia. We allow wars to happen and people die from starvation. Analyzing history perhaps would be more helpful in order to understand what's going on around us today.
All these things you blame on 'capitalism' are human structures, cultures, guidelines and lines of thought that converged into this. In some ways, they are the mere repetition of old values we only pretend to have changed because it's now PC.
It doesn't matter what's around us, if we wanna change anything we gotta look inside and change ourselves.
