At this point, "Capitalism" feels as undefined to the left as "Woke" is to the right. It may be bad, but people just put whatever they don't like into a box and call it "Capitalism".

Yeah, no, the left has always had a pretty consistent analysis of capitalism. It comes to different solutions to it, but we all pretty much agree why capitalism is bad.

Yea, I even agree on the analysis that it is bad. The trick is defining WHAT it is.

The definition is an economic system based on private property and market exchange of goods. That's a pretty much universal definition that has been accurate since the 1700s

What is bad about that?

I'm not going to summarize Marx, Kropotkin and the life's work of thousands of other leftist philosophers for you. Go read a book.

You would think thousands of philosophers could summarize something into an elevator speech. but I'll look up Kropotkin since that is not a name I've heard before. Thank you.
