Speak for yourself, friend.
You weren't born entitled to anything. I'm in better circumstances than you for my generation but it's unlikely I'll live to retirement age (disease). Grousing about 'capitalism' or the 'corporation' (or The Man, man) isn't going to change a single thing.
I envy your clear vision of who to blame and where the problem lies but unless you get into a career in politics you're not changing anything. Easier to become an astronaut.

I know people who deliberately don’t save for retirement because they are betting that by the time they are old, the majority of people also won’t have enough, and the government politically can’t let elderly people mass-die on the street. When the non-savers vastly outnumber the savers, the retirement problem could be solvable politically.
