I can see why some people would have a couple of minor quibbles with capitalism based on it doing what they percenive as concentrating wealth to a relatively few people. I can see why people would have a problem with people dying because they can't afford food or healthcare.
What I can't see is how they can have a problem with the system as a whole. Love it or hate it, capitalism is pretty much responsible for everything good that has ever existed, in the world and in your individual lives. There's just something a little weird about a bunch of bourgeois internet-forum people with cheap laptops and cheap broadband internet and cheap air conditioning and cheap electricity bitching to others about the system that enabled this whole picture to exist. Talk about the external costs that aren't accounted for or something. But don't indict the whole philosophy, its borderline hypocritical.
