I think we need one more axis, willingness to exploit others. Capitalism isn't inherently bad, but it is a problem when it has major flaws that allow for systematic an unintended avenues of exploitation. I support capitalism, I understand capitalism, and I have success in the system however I categorically refuse to partake in the smorgasbord of options for exploiting those who create value to live the life of a parasite. I take pride in my work and get compensated fairly, the work I do requires a lot of expertise and continued learning and development, something not everyone wants to do. My doing so provides significant value and that affords me some nicer things in life, but I do not agree that those who work more mundane jobs shouldn't be compensated such that they can live comfortably. The system only works if everyone who works full-time hours can life a comfortable life. The moment full-time work does not buy you comfort and security, the system rapidly becomes one that survives of the backs of slaves.
