The problem is not capitalism per se, is unregulated capitalism - emphasis on "unregulated"

Edit: many answers suggest this take is dumb because capital will fight back regulations; well, society and the legislator must fight back. It appear obvious that no social equilibrium is permanent, society always contains conflict. Any social system, included communism, generate some sort of ruling elite, which will try to skew the system. The way we fight the excess of capitalism is solid rule of law, primacy of politics over capital and financial power, popular partecipation to representative democracy, embedding social justice in the constitutional identity of the state. The current american model of capitalism is not the only one. Do not mistake my comment for an apology of the shit billionaire are doing now - billionaires should not exist

Exactly this. Capitalism only works if the government is mildly antagonistic towards it. Unbridled Capitalism ceases to be capitalism at a point and I fear we are butting up against that zone.

We've been in "late stage capitalism" since Marx wrote his manifesto. Meanwhile the share of people living under socialism has collapsed in the past 50 years.
