Without capitalism, the production, distribution, and innovation of products and services wouldn't be a thing. Even what people think is the greatest universal good -- technology -- would be unheard of if not for the mechanism by which technology is reimagined, packaged, and dispersed, rinse and repeat. Without capitalism, you would not have a computer, you wouldn't have daily weed, you would most likely be hungry most of the time, you would either be working from sun up to sun down or living in dirt, and you'd most likely wipe your ass with your hand. Every song you ever liked, every movie you ever liked, every time you read a book to a lamp, every time you went someplace with a different climate and different people, every time you took a hot shower, every time you jacked off to pictures and videos of hot naked women, all would have never come to pass without capitalism.
Drinking your own Kool-Aid a bit much?

Nothing on that kind of pedestal is going to live up to the elevation.
