The obvious solution is to dismantle capitalism and destroy anyone that gets in the way.

Again, love the lofty goal you're setting, but you pretty blatantly don't mention an alternative system. Easy to point out a problem, much harder to build a real solution.

The funny thing is, capitalism happened organically. It wasn't a designed system. So dismantling capitalism without a solid replacement will likely just lead right back to capitalism.

March of history. When material conditions are right you transition from feudalism to capitalism. When material conditions build up further, you get the transition to socialism and then communism.
