We had capitalism before what we have now, yes?
How did that work out?
What we have now isn't the fault of capitalism, it's the fault of corruption. No economic system works if the rules aren't applied evenly.
When'd the change from "capitalism" to "not capitalism" happen?
1913 or so.
We fell partially because our worship of economics and the almighty dollar was heralded as more important than borders, language, culture, and family.
I'm not sure those things were the cause of the fall or symptoms of the fall. We started heading fast to a broken system when we gave away the control of our own currency.
