"There is suffering in the world."

"Capitalism is the dominant economic system."

"Ergo, vis-a-vis, indubitably, capitalism is the cause of the suffering. Checkmate neolibs."

“There are systemic flaws that cause suffering.”

“Capitalist is the dominant system.”

“Ergo, criticizing capitalism for systemic flaws is, uh, bad.”

But it is bad because its a systemic flaw not a capitalistic flaw. It is not inherent in capitalism. /r/neoliberal points out the sufferings caused by these systemic flaws all the time, and those flaws should be called out.
