They had it backwards, capitalism is fundamentally incompatible with Christian values

Laws and systems do not dictate values. The values themselves need to be actually held and held truly for the individuals claiming to have them to not torture the shit out of eachother and leave eachother for dead.
When you're a walking husk of a gutted soulless legalist embarrassment of a religion that makes God look like trash you can expert bad times.
That Christianity can't glue any society together, and no genius concoction of a government system is capable of neutralizing what is our greatest challenge, our own evil.
There is a reason Jesus didn't lay out a recipe for governing humans in a form of a government structure etc. He gave the actual only correct answer which is to love your neighbor as yourself, and to love God. All systems fail when we don't love eachother. Sorry for the bad news, you can't blame anything except each and every one of eachother and the only way to fix it is not to put eachother in more prisons but to love.
