This is essentially why I've stayed out of the thread until now. I'm not sure what the intent is.
That and I figured it was only a matter of time before someone brought up Ayn Rand.
Oh, crap. The cat's out of the bag.
As long as we can agree that capitalism is amoral as opposed to immoral, I don't see any real reason for me to continue here.
I should also state that I think it is improbable that we can "move beyond" capitalism. I think the alternatives are either utopian and therefore impossible or a regression and therefore totalitarian.
Either way, I think we should work within the capitalist system.
There will be no revolution. It isn't coming. But if it were, it wouldn't be televised. At least not for long.
