I don't think this is true. This level of disparity can be greatly reduced even under a fully capitalist framework.

if you mean purely within the context of one capitalist country, then in theory this is partly correct.

however, capitalism fundamentally requires the existence of an underclass to do the work, and it is possible for that underclass to be outsourced to other countries.

That can be done through social stigma against hoarding, taxation, encouraging worker dividends etc.

lol no it can't. billionaires don't care about that. they're sociopaths.

It's been done before and it is done in other places.

still not without the existence of an underclass though.

That doesn't mean those other systems are justifiable either though, maybe all capitalism is fundamentally unjust, maybe it's the most just system we can achieve, I don't know.

it is fundamentally unjust, and it is definitely not the most just system we can achieve.
