In this thread we post our most :LIB: takes, and discuss whether that is the logical end point on a given topic or whether we need to lose that last bit of liberalism.

Nah, take the Federici-pill.
Capitalism was a counter-revolution against a more egalitarian Feudal system. The masses were pushed into increasing precarity and suffering as the bourgeoisie overthrew the feudal system.
However, Capitalism is a necessary historical process to get to socialism, then communism. It centralizes production and flattens relations to production into a handful of classes, where the masses are proletarian. It creates the conditions necessary for world revolution.
The improvements since the Feudal era are the product of mass struggle against Capitalism, and the bourgeoisie offering concession to prevent world revolution.
