Unless you define capitalism as “things I don’t like” then
1) broad individual freedoms have advanced the most in capitalist countries and those freedoms have not seen monitonic decrease since some founding date, rather have seem back and forth swings with a general trend towards more individual freedom in long time scales
2) child labor laws were enacted first in capitalist countries and continue to be stronger in capitalist countries
I don’t see any rebuttal to these that don’t boil down to defining capitalism narrowly enough to exclude countries/economies that the commenter likes more and instead they would define as some brand of socialism.
Capitalism I’m defining here broadly as an economy characterized primarily by individual ownership of resources and production.
