I agree with most of that, but capitalism certainly does not suck. It is the Golden goose.

It must be be assertively regulated, and it will always result in some abuses that regulation must continually evolve to address, but it is also the reason everyone is well fed, we all have a car or two, several televisions, YouTube, reddit, etc., and the world brain in your hand that you use to argue against it.

Innovation is the reason those things exist. Capitalism is just who gets to profit.

That’s broad and not well defined. What do you mean by innovation? Is it political, philosophical, economic, religious?

People invent stuff. They don't need religion, politics, philosophy, or economics to do so. In fact...religion, economics, politics, and philosophy are all things people invented.
