That is still ideological. You are choosing capitalism despite it’s incongruities, excesses, and consequences, because you find more significance in what it sees as ‘good’.

Pretending to be non-ideological is disingenuous.

I am choosing capitalism because it doesn't end with shooting pregnant women and children in empty fields.
So if I can prove capitalism led to shooting some pregnant women and children in empty fields, what position do you plan to switch to?
Hopefully whatever alternative proposed wherein that doesn't happen.
There have been countless alternatives proposed. If you're judging this based on consequences rather than ideology the decision to pick capitalism makes no sense. Something untested is the obvious choice
