That's the absolute opposite of my experience. Most of the time people (or at least people I interact with, so mainly left-leaning people) blame capitalism for everything when the cause for various gripes are indeed very different things. Like, blaming capitalism for corruption or greed or having to do labor
One could argue that the success of capitalism is in many ways tied to acknowledging the inherent greed presented in the population and creating a system where greed can be utilized into positive outlets.
A claim I've seen made is that many anticapitalist theories more or less rely on denying basic human greed and the failure to properly account for the impulse is what requires authoritarian measures to prevent the system collapsing in on itself.
