No one has referred to capitalism as efficient or entirely rational.
We are referring to the incentive structure that the capitalist mode of production creates, and which behaviors that structure rewards and therefore elevates into positions of authority.
The framework you a describing as the foundation for your analysis sounds very analogous to the anarchist concept of "authoritarian personality disorder," and I personally don't find that to be a very rigorous or intellectually sound framework for understanding the world. You are basically starting from an assumption of ill intent, and therefore any evidence that is presented is transformed into evidence of malice by speculating on internal and inherently unknowable "bad thoughts."
It's an entirely unscientific way of trying to understand the world.
