I agree it is past time for humanity to move beyond capitalism.
Here comes the annoying BUT--capitalism actually does create the means for prosperity. Marx argued this, and there's much evidence it is true. I don't think I would have believed it if I hadn't seen poverty decrease with my own eyes through capitalism in many places. All data bears this out. Global poverty has DECREASED as capitalism has spread throughout various countries. Life expectancies have risen, health has improved, etc., etc. It's not true that there were no non-capitalist societies where less want and deprivation was present but it was not at all the norm.
You don't have to agree with me about this but it seems like something anyone who wants to argue against capitalism should address. There are a lot of different ways to address it but it's not very plausible to claim that capitalism is nothing more than a cause of impoverishment as this is very clearly false.
Thank you Antonio🙏
