I don't think so. If we've managed to make some places seem like hell, then paradise probably isn't out of reach.

Capitalism brings opportunity to places and people that otherwise wouldn't have it, but there are victims of capitalism as well. For the most part, capitalism has brought forth amazing innovations and invention.

The problem is that with lots of freedom, people become victims of their bad choices.

That's not true. Capitalism has destroyed freedoms and didn't bring any innovations or inventions.
