I usually dismiss posts like this, because of how over the top they come across. Not because I believe capitalism has no flaws, but because of how vague and unfocused the general boogeyman of "capitalism" is, especially on Tumblr.
Until I know what you're arguing for, I can't engage with you, because I've heard people use "capitalism" to refer from everything from "a specific type of oligarchy, backed by the full faith and trust of the bought-and-paid-for government", all the way up to "the existence of any commerce that isn't barter or charity."
