I would say that the human race has shown it is not mature enough to handle capitalism. But I don't think Nabby nor I are speaking about the corner store businessman. We're speaking about the assholes that run major corporations with only an eye for profits while stomping on the earth's environment and on a whim putting people INTO poverty. There's no need for any totalitarianism to solve the problem. You just limit how big a corporation can be, how long it can exist. You also don't allow people to build massive concentrated wealth. It is inexcusable to have 1% of the population own 95% of the wealth. They start behaving arrogantly and thing God deemed them to be our rulers. Fuck that.
