Capitalists serve customers and do not operate in a vacuum. This finger pointing does nothing productive.

Capitalists have captured regulation and to a large extent democracy in the US. So finger pointing towards them is entirely useful. Especially given they spend good money to point the finger at us.

Capitalists ~~serve customers~~ hoard wealth through reckless profiteering irregardless of the costs to the rest of human society and do not operate in a vacuum.

FTFY. I do agree with your last part, though. The political racketeer establishments that enable them and the fascist security institutions that protect them are equally as culpable as they are.
