You are confusing individual morality with a some major flaw in an economic system. I am convinced that capitalists can be morally-upright and honest actors.

Every system benefits the already-privileged because the world is not a Utopia, but capitalism results in more benefits for more people than any other system.

no, i'm just responding to the presence of extortion in your expression there, which was not material really, but i just wanted to point out that criminal activity reduces market efficiency

I can't tell who that was in response to.

I am not at all convinced about the second paragraph. I will argue the opposite. There are indeed capitalists that are morally upright etc but the capitalist system pushes them the other side.
