Oh, get off this dead horse, will ya. Like anything else cannot do this, only capitalism can

Do you have reason to believe that this problem is currently caused by something other than capitalism?

Of course. It predates capitalism and any other -ism as well. Or did everyone live happily in ancient times?

Before about 12,000 years ago, humans primarily lived as immediate return hunter-gatherers. There was no way to accumulate wealth, so this problem didn't exist. There was no financial burden involved in leaving a relationship.
I am not advocating for a return to hunting and gathering, but I believe we can design a new system, based on equality of decision-making power, that avoids the pitfalls of our more recent hierarchy-based systems.

Wow, do I wholeheartedly thank you for this. Yes, we need something better, and I want to see more of "I think this will work better than what we have, because...", and not "I think capitalism is bad". Me personally would have started not with the system but people, buut as long as every aspect of life is going to eventually taken care of, bottom-up or top-down way of getting there does not really matter
