Excellent question. The answer is yes, and no.

Capitalism by itself is not antithetical to Christianity (or even Communism, for that matter). It is considered a necessary, even welcome, stage in History. The catch here is that this applies only to Industrial Capitalism.

On the other hand, Finance capitalism, and the entire apparatus required to sustain and propagate it globally, *is* antithetical to Christianity. It's Mammon.

How does Finance Capitalism get realigned, if at all possible? Does it require forceful revolution, peaceful religious values instilled over generations, or even an economic wipe out (over-leverage, inflation, money printer, fractional reserve banking, etc) for reform to take place? It seems like the incentive structures of wealth siphoning to the handful of elites is too strong to break otherwise.

Forceful revolution + cultivating mass popular consciousness and support; at historically opportune moments. The Dialectic of History can't be short-circuited. No way out but through.
