Aside from incorrect application of economics, which by the way Marxist view of economics were demonstrably proven not only wrong, but detrimental for adoption, you are also assuming a lot of the symptoms and problems we have now are a result of very specific things. But thing is the problems we are suffering from are not a result of capitalist principles nor of inevitable evolution of those principles, they are the result of removal of those principles which were happening all the way back before Karl Marx took the throne of king of economic autism. As an example the reason why health costs in the US are high is because of constant sabotage by the regulatory powers, lobbyists, and later the pharma monopoly and the FDA, they were constantly pushing the price of the whole economic sector of the medical field while preventing competition, and then they lock out even insurance competition before they chained the premiums to an increasing interest rate. It was a continuous process of many different actions culminating together to cause the problem, and honestly if you didn't expect that to happen eventually you're either blind or stupid. The same thing happened with the real estate market and college market however because there was never a monopoly in either they instead turned into bubbles. Nowadays we are surrounded in corporate lobbies and government manipulated marketshares, it is inevitable that locking our economy to the American interest rate as we increase our debt and inflation constantly would result in economic problems. The problem has nothing to do with capitalism, it has to do with lack of limitation on government, when a corporation can walk into DC and demand capability to influence the market without qualms, that's not capitalism's fault, that's the fault of the political system. And that happens in every single town, there's a reason everyone hates the cable company, and it all starts with the lack of competition, no amount of government intervention would fix that, it only makes it worse. How about we get government out of the market before we start blaming the market for the problems the government has been causing for a 150 years.
Another stupid thing is the belief that automation will remove or replace jobs as if an unemployed person is incapable of transferring jobs, the entire point of capitalism was also employee competition, not just product competition. But instead we've created systems that make employer and employee competition even more impossible and difficult thus driving up the cost of an employee for no reason and also removing a capable person from capably entering the market rapidly. And that aside you can never create an economic system that removes the human brain, even if all jobs that currently exist were taken humans would create new jobs to generate wealth off of, wealth is not a zero-sum game and those who believe it is are retards.

Everyone who says crap about this always seems to believe democracy is a moral good. Yet never once can they actually rationalize this moralistic position that they push on everyone else. Its a religion, like any ideology, but without justification or reason. The founding fathers created a Constitutional Republic, the Constitutional document overrules anything the "democratic" process votes for because its by intention not a democracy. This is why we Constitutionalists will tell you the US is not a democracy, for the people are not the ultimate authority over law unlike every other nation. If it was gun rights would've been abolished federally and it we would've become a lot more unitary. (more comparable to Germany then France, Germany being a semi-unitary federalism, its federal government can rule anything over its regional governments as it wishes without much regulation, but it only does so in so many cases, the US does not share this trait even remotely) The founding fathers hated democracy and described it as the worst thing for the people, as its just mob rule. Everyone always talks about how the electoral college is non-democratic and is an old system, but that's the point, its supposed to be non-democratic, its supposed to be used to increase the threshold for tyranny, the original system worked as intended, the changes actually corrupted and broke the system because those systems weren't, even amongst the compromise, meant to be modulated. The point of the nation was states have more power then the nation and the only point of the federal government was to intervene over the violation of one's rights. Anyone who doesn't actually ever bother to read the founding fathers and actual history of the Constitution and the US, and no your high school social studies class doesn't teach you crap, should stay in their lane and not try to discuss politics over a topic they don't understand as if they're an authority. Foremost there are no living authorities over truth and facts on Earth here, and those who don't know anything about the authority shouldn't have any say.
