Average Americans honestly don't realize that many nations and people outside of the US suffer "misery and oppression" directly as a result of capitalism imperialism. They either literally don't know (miseducation, no education) and/or don't value other lives equally (racism, western chauvinism). Identifying the obvious contradiction in this '"just and moral capitalism" is what leads people to socialism and other beliefs. Given proper education and basic morals, it's impossible to support capitalism.
