It's money. Every other form of economy has also exploited people for gain.

Money existed before capitalism. Capitalism started in the 1700s. Money far predates capitalism. Plus, my comment is that capitalism must be regulated by outside regulators like governments. Conservatives have pushed deregulation forever and it’s made things worse. Capitalism worked far better in the heavy regulation days after WW2.

So we're just supposed to stop coming up with better ideas?

If that's what you want to do, go for it. I didn't say anything like that.
I'm just pointing out it's not capitalism.
