It's not capitalism it's the forced work. People hated Mondays in the Soviet Union too.

Any system that concentrates power in the hands of the few is bad for the many.

Capitalism is just what most of the world calls it at the moment.

Capitalism and authoritarian Marxist-Leninist states are not the only alternatives. There are other alternatives like Georgist economic democracy. In such a system, everyone would be either individually or jointly self-employed while receiving their share of the value derived from natural resources

"But hey guys, there's this other kind of social order that was also bad!"

I mean, yes? Maybe we should try to build a society that minimizes the amount of work that needs to be done. In order to do that, we have to recognize that capitalists would fight against our efforts, because they profit off of our labor.

And yes, the rulers of a USSR-style authoritarian socialist society would also fight against that kind of change, so maybe let's not go that route.
