But that’s a problem with human nature, and not capitalism per se. Those same human nature dynamics work in crime, socialism ,communism, etc, and even more pronounced.

Yeah, why smear capitalism as only working if people act in a moral fashion. What system works when people act immorally within it? Capitalism actually requires us to depend the least on the virtue of others, since the profit motive doesn’t require people to be generous to do stuff for you and competition filters the liars and lazy out of the lines of production.
