how do you know that, cimmaron?
there's a perfectly legitimate view of capitalism that sees profit as presupposing exploitation of those who sell their labor power for a wage. the ethical alternative is to suppress the division between those who own the instruments of production and those who do the actual production. they call it revolution.
from that viewpoint, it is more or less impossible for capital to be generated without ethical problems.
this is more coherent than your position because it opens onto actually talking about how capitalism works. and it doesn't stop with some simplistic fetishism of property relations ("well, capitalist own factories and it's legit because the paper sez so.")
