That is true - by capitalist rules, if someone reduces someone else's risks, they should also reduce their shares/profits. But then there are indirect dividends, so the system is kind of capitalist-sound.
As you might've noticed from my recent activity here, I'm also working on applied political science from unpopular freedom-humanitarian point of view side.
And indeed, there is little worse - from both capitalist and freedom points of view - than corporate wellfare, it kills both economy and people. But it's existence is indeed in local energy minimum, so it's here to stay with us at least until the next big upheaval. (Ironically, if Russia wins, then moves on and barbarians plunge the world into dark ages, that would be an upheaval; hopefully, we'd find better options?)
And the issues you describe are inevitable in current state of capitalism. They seem to be inevitable in any kind of capitalism. And according to my recent findings (I'm sure there were others who came to similar conclusions, so I'll be digging the literature now), it is all inevitable with current laws of universe.
Which we, humans, are quite capable of bending. So the rebellion is bigger then class war or opposition to power, it's rebellion against the world. We are doomed to win, whether for good or for bad.
