We are cherry-picking the bits of capitalism that are most important and will serve the majority in the long run. This is how society evolves, we scrap the bad ideas and keep the good ones. There is nothing wrong with cherry-picking if the cherries we get are good.
I don't quibble over what people take out of capitalism, but for me if you sign on to it then you really can't claim any sort of left-wing credentials. At best you can claim to be " middle-of-the-road " ( we used to joke that that was where you get run over! )
A man is born to a virgin mother, lives, dies, comes alive again and then disappears into the clouds to become his Dad. How likely is that?
