An established worldview that has brought the world to the brink of global catastrophe has the weird audacity to smugly demean any viewpoint not strictly aligned with it.

No I'm not. I'm opposed to what happens when capitalism is disconnected from an ethical core, which is inevitable in the absence of strong governmental regulation and oversight. I don't want capitalism destroyed; I want it reined in. Crony capitalism is its perversion.

Capitalism is nothing more than Enclosure land control to force the common people to work for the rich. It is a system to make land a commodity that costs too much for us to afford, thus making us precarious on purpose. It is inherently evil. The sooner you realize it the better:

There is NO ethical core to capitalism. Its profit and loss sheet is the idiot king. The people who prepare them are but its servants. Intent has nothing to do with our problems; inequality baked into the structure of capitalism. Without it, it doesn't work.

I wonder if it's a semantic illusion, this Capitalism you support. Have you examined the origins of Capital through primitive accumulation and the process of appropriating the land of individual producers. How do you imagine the world's army of workers came to be?

Do you not know what capitalism actually is? It's individuals hoarding wealth and power, not "making lots of stuff".

Crony capitalism is made up. There is just Capitalism.
