Capitalism comes from people who are capitalists.

People are a product of the system they live under. We can look at the collapse of USSR as a concrete example here. All the same people who used to be productive members of society under the Soviet system became oligarchs once niches for exploitation opened up after the transition to capitalism. It's a systemic problem, not an individual one. That's what she's saying when she says you hate the material conditions.

And cake comes from people who are bakers. My feelings about cake are largely separate from my feelings about bakers

Ummm no they're not. If the cake is bad who do you blame ?? The cake or the baker ??

I'm not actually a fan of cake. There are some bakers I'm pretty into though.
