Are you implying that “capitalism” (capital is not an “ism”)
is immoral? Capitalism has produced the greatest good for
the largest number of people in the world’s history!

Keep on repeating that mantra. 
 
Meanwhile the Chinese communist hive utilizes capitalism as a means to propagate its collective genome.
 
That's not surprising...
 
"I also made it quite clear that Socialism means equality of income or nothing, and that under Socialism you would not be allowed to be poor. You would be forcibly fed, clothed, lodged, taught, and employed whether you liked it or not. If it were discovered that you had not character and industry enough to be worth all this trouble, you might possibly be executed in a kindly manner; but whilst you were permitted to live you would have to live well."
-George Bernard Shaw[49]

Capitalism does not guarantee morality; It's simply a tool, and like any other tool - can be used for either good or evil.

Got Baal?
