Even a surface level reading doesn't advocate capitalism... The ending explicitly equates communism and capitalism.

The book is anti-authoritarian, in any guise.

And that conclusion is something that makes the book a bit ridiculous.

The book identifies concentrated power as the villain. The farmer has complete control over the lives of the animals, and used that to better his life without concern for theirs.

The pigs are given complete control, and use that power to do the same.

It doesn't matter what you call the system, concentrated power is authoritarian by definition, and is invariably harmful to those who do not hold power.

and is invariably harmful to those who do not hold power.

So, if I have someone who drags me into the military – into a losing battle perhaps – and harm them out of self defence, is that really all that terrible for my interests? I would say I would benefit greatly. If I got together with a bunch of soldiers who all are tired of fighting and decide with them to usurp our masters, how is that not concentrating the power, and more importantly how is that necessarily a bad thing?

If you don't institute an egalitarian society after the revolution, you're just replacing one authoritarian government with another. That's certainly good for you, but when you're in power, you're not part of "those who do not hold power" anymore.
