How can you preach the virtues of capitalism to people who don’t have any capital? It takes capital to be a capitalist. I totally understand why so many young people are saying “What the hell has global capitalism ever done for me?”

Replace “capitalism” (a Marxist term) with “free market” and see how ludicrous your ideas are. 🙄

It's called use your capital (yourself, labor) to exchange for goods and capital. Not everyone is as good or determined but that's life.

entrepreneurs are their own form of ‘capital’. that’s not my opinion, that’s an economic fact. hard work, study increases ones own capital

This is false. You can make capital, out of thin air. Or, you can whine about not having stuff, and wish starvation on everyone.

No, it's CAPITA-LISM. Capita = the individual. The rights of the individual outweigh the rights of the state. CAPITAL-ISM is an awful pun used by economists.
