Capitalism is more complex than this. But I like that you want to put people in the center spot of society. Close to all nations in the world are capitalist nations, from Sweden to China. What you forget to mention was the empowering system that takes place at the same time in all these capitalist nations. Let me use the obvious USA to show you how their voting system has tremendous implications for how capitalism ends up shaping a nation.
In winner-take-all, capitalism is meaner than in equal representation. In winner-take-all, only the majority sits in all seats of representation, and next they make majority decisions among themselves (so the majority issue is expressed twice in this system). In effect, a minority of the voting population ends up making all decisions. For instance, 60% of the voters get their representative, and next, 60% of the representatives make a decision. That is .6 x .6 = .36, a decision made based on a minority of all people that voted.
In equal representation, all voters (99 percent) ha their own representatives sitting at the negotiation tables. Majority decision is then pretty much based on the majority of the voters.
It doesn't take a lot of imagination to see that folks that are not at the table will not be receiving their fare share. Healthcare is just a single example that when folks are not present at the table that the ones that are at the table then decide that these others don't need it. Particularly a nation like the USA, with examples of higher standards from foreign nations not penetrating all that much, this will be a major issue. The majority at the table, representing people that in general have healthcare, they do not see what’s wrong with the minority not represented at the table not having decent healthcare.
How many houses to a nation also influences the outcome. The Scandinavian countries have One House, and that is it, folks. There is no senate, there is no empowered president. The more straightforward a system, the more empowered the voters are. Definitively not the USA where voters are only marginally empowered. The voters compete with the voters to get their pick instead of having the competition occur among the parties. Plus, their own votes for President, Senate and House end up bickering with themselves.
The USA is not really a democracy. Its two-party system sits between the definitions of democracy and dictatorship, with the two parties similar to good cop/bad cop; there is no political freedom, just the choice which cop you end up agreeing with.
So, capitalism is not the word to base our world views on. Capitalism is found almost everywhere. It is voter empowerment, and China and the USA do not have enough of it.
There is a way out, today, US Constitution approved. Ask me about it, Matt.
