The benefit is that there's at least a goal that will benefit the poorest strata of society.
Capitalism doesn't address it at all. It's every man for themselves and fuck everyone else. That's textbook recipe for sick societies, like all capitalist societies on the planet. None of them work for the poorest of the people, none of them attempt to do so.
It's crisis after crisis, with random economical meaningless inflation fear mongering to get people to hate their fellow workers. To compete for an ever decreasing pool of jobs.
