As long as we allow modern capitalism to be the driving force of society, these harmful things will never go away

  "Capitalism" is a pattern that emerges from the behavior of humans, who act on the motivations and intentions they already have, and not an independent source of causality. Reifying post-hoc descriptive models and regarding them as the source of a problem is a sure-fire way to make that problem intractable.

  I think you mean to say as long as humans continue to prioritize other things over these things, these things won’t change.

  As opposed to what, a centralized economy? Because that went well for the people who have suffered it... Maybe when the AGI overlords land they'll know how to plan an economy properly.

  I'm not a fanboy of cut throat capitalism but your take seems poorly thought out. Can you describe in detail how these harmful things would magically disappear if capitalism were no longer the driving force of society? My socialist neighbors can be just as loud and annoying and inconsiderate as my capitalist neighbors.
