Is it a 100% fair system? No. Is nature 100% fair? No. It's an economic system that works in the real world, and the real world isn't perfect.

"Life's not fair. Get over it."
"Well let's tax the rich more and close various tax loop holes to make it a bit more fair."

Capitalism would work just fine if billionaires actually understood the purpose of the system and didn't pointlessly hoard all the wealth

Billionaires are a feature of capitalism, not a bug

It kinda doesn't though.

I mean round rock works better than square rock for the purpose of taking you home but neither work as a vehicle.

We've got homeless people and absurdly wealthy people, a job market with miminal career oppotunities, more and more freelance work, a military industrial complex, politics run by lobbyists, corrupt criminal justice system, interference in other nations' elected governments.

Capitalism is failing pretty badly. "Other systems have failed worse" isn't much of a defense.

System fails all the time, I'd argue responsible for more deaths than Socialism, and humanity has reached the point where we can be "fair" to one another, and being unfair is only literally genociding our species

No systems are fair to you. Therefore they are all equal to you. Therefore there should be no issue changing the system to another for you if someone else wants.

Capitalism is so nice because you don't have to be a billionaire to make a good life for yourself.

You listed 8 things and 5 are government created problems, 2 aren't problems at all and 1 isn't happening. You tried I guess.

Why would anyone be against the most successful economic system? Especially when the alternatives have always historically lead to dictatorship, oppression, and death?

Theres nothing thats says you have to spend all your money.
