I don't like saying "the problem is capitalism" even though I think I often agree with what I assume people mean when they say this.
Capitalism is this huge concept and to some people it means shopping and lemonade stands, to others it means human slavery and the indentured servitude of debt.
The problem is the imbalance of power, monopolies of control and the systems that enable control. Extreme wealth and the recognition of the legitimacy of that wealth can function in this way.
@futurebird This is a really complicated one to me. On the one hand I don't think "capitalism" is broad enough, for exactly the "missing other cases" reasons you describe. Kyriarchy and terms like it are unfortunately even less widely understood, it seems.
On the other hand, a lot of people don't really seem to have an internal mental 'boundary' between the lemonade stand interpretation and the system-of-control interpretation, frequently accepting the latter under the assumption that it's a necessary counterpart of the former, and I'm not sure how else to communicate the problem with that...
