>It's hard to dispute that capitalism has given us some amazing goodies (Disney, iPhone, instant noodles), but on balance I think it might be a net negative.

A net negative compared to what? Feudalism? Stalinism? Capitalism certainly has real problems as seen here, but I haven't seen a real-world system that's proven to work any better; all the alternatives have been much worse. Usually, when people complain about capitalism and how they want something else, they can't seem to define what they really want, or what they want is some fairy-tale system that doesn't actually exist and probably wouldn't work if it were tried in the real world. The alternatives that have been tried have been disastrous.
