Capitalism is imo so hard to remove because it’s a system that evolved out of our base biological nature. It’s a system very close to what’s “natural” if we didn’t have much education or philosophy.
“Natural” would be that the alpha male gets what you have or if you disagree he kills you. Capitalism is a system of financing prospects by selling future profits. It requires a society to uphold private property rights. These systems are about as far from each other than can be.
Also if we look at the time periods before free markets arrived properly, the world was littered with centralized states, in which markets were dictated by kings, emperors and other royalties instead of letting them be – in pretty much the same way as that main competitor to capitalism tried to do in the 1900s. That’s also pretty far from a free market capitalist system, and you could say that those systems arose “naturally” from the base biological alpha male concept.

I explained here what I meant.
As a separate point though, private property is imo also very natural, very many animals have a sense of what is “theirs” and defend it as such.
