I feel like a lot of these peoples' ails basically comes down to feeling alienated from society, and being immediately useful to and valued by other people is the quickest way out of their personal hell.  Nepenthe doesn't have a problem with capitalism, she has a problem with being unable to figure out how to stop hating everyone for one second in order to find a use for herself in regards to other people.  She can't even articulate what capitalism is.  It is more comfortable for her to tell herself society has a defacto hatred for her and her race than it is to want to work on herself in order to be useful to others.

Nepenthe needs capitalism to be a proscriptive thing imposed on everyone rather than a descriptive of something natural and/or logical based in human experience (or worse, inherently good in some respect) because otherwise it's too hard to escape the judgment that her personal status she despises is somehow her own fault.

What's ideal about socialism is that you won't have to listen to all those people you despise and think are beneath you to find a way to be useful to them, you can just do as you're told and it's automatically for everyone's greater good and nobody can dispute this. Your loyalty to the system implies you're essential, unlike capitalism where you "only matter" when you're engaged in exchange relations for commodities which forces you into constant despair about your true societal value.

One of the major problems with our liberal society is that if you don't feel these existential anxieties you're going to go on thinking things are fine rather than realizing you should be exhausted at how terrible life is and how unrelenting it is. This is also the problem with our increasing wealth and why we need to halt it and reverse it, so people aren't misled about how terrible their lives really are. Also one of the problems with families or other bougie pleasures, you can escape into them rather than be aware of the incessant suffering that is existing.

The fact that you aren't aware of all this just proves how much you've fallen for the capitalist, colonialist and white supremacist propaganda being force fed to you at all times by Stellar Blade or Genocide Joe or the YouTube algorithm. Maybe try educating yourself about basic human decency and how everyone else is refusing to do it for corrupt ideological reasons.
