I have a hard time making sense of this position. If you deny that
capitalist exploitation is morally wrong, what is it exactly that you have
against capitalism anyway?

I think William Cockshott has it right: any progressive ideology must be
based on the prior position of taking up the side of the exploited. What is
this if not a moral position?
