to paraphrase Jesus:  
the rich will always be with us  
what matters is:  
1\. the way they got rich  
2\. the way they stay rich  
3\. their proportion in society  
there are no societal structures that get a better mark on these than capitalism.  
and there will never be, so long as humans are humans
