I like your ideas and suspect we're far more on the same page than
not.
Nonetheless I compare what we call "capitalism" to chameleon music
artists like David Bowie (no disrespect intended to that wonderful
artist), who change radically with time, constantly shapeshifting and
reinventing. Our grandfather's "capitalism" is unrecognisable from
its namesake today.
People often level the accusation against communism that "it has never
actually been tried in practice", and I think the same is also true of
capitalism. Maybe in the years before just before 1929.
Anyway, what I see today is not a recognisable ideology. It's just a
bunch of criminals getting away with it and an effectively lawless
USA.
