Maybe just stop calling it capitalism and rebrand it greedism. Truthful and clear, easy to qualify as one.of the seven deadly sins for easy reference.
Greed is not a system, capitalism is.
With greedism, the distinction between systemic problems and personal values is lost.
That being said, the understanding of capitalism can be better explained by adding qualifiers, like
Rentier capitalism, monopoly capitalism, etc,
And understanding the differences with industrial capitalism.
