Anti-Capitalist Sentiment (with some morality)

I take issue with the use of Darwin in describing behaviour.

If you're referring to Social Darwinism, it has some serious shortcomings which is why it fell out of favor early in the 20th century. The main issue is the idea that evolution only rewards competition and doesn't value cooperation.

That's very strange. Evolution rewards cooperation big time.

The Social Darwinists' motivation for applying Darwin to human behavior was mainly an excuse for imperialism, racism, etc., as being the 'natural' state of things and thus, morally justified.

For what it's worth, Collective Darwinism emphasized cooperation in nature as a justification for communism (roughly speaking).
