It's a reaction against materialism, which is reflected in both capitalism and communism. Japanese traditionalists were more interested in cultural and spiritual enlightenment.
Its a shame that speaking out against capitalism is taboo in American right wing circles.....
On some level it's because every time someone does that, it's inevitably a prelude to a mouth breather going off about the glories of communism. There isn't space in the mental model for a third option in that competition right now, same as how our political parties are limited to just Democrat vs Republican. Black and White thinking is easy and no one's doing the legwork to crowbar in the idea that other options even exist.
It's a semantic argument. When they say "muh capitalism" they always mean things like profit taking, private property, investing - aka Basic Economics.
If they said things like Corporatism, banking, mortgages, usury, Gordon Gecko nonsense, we could come together on principle. Occupy Wall Street was the inflection point.
Gotta conserve liberal democracy and the gdp, and of course Israel
