Ad hominem view of capitalism will bring us nowhere as long as capitalism still exists

Reading over the Clinton, Trump, and Sanders websites and stances i focused on the their views on large corporations/wallstreet/CEO's and what not. More specifically Clinton and Sanders, Trumps website hardly mentioned anything about the topics. It's interesting to see how Clinton acts as though she will have any type of impact on corporations and more specifically Wall Street as she accepts a $7 million from George Soro's hedge fund to help fund her campaign. Acting like there are no strings attached to that is hard.
The same goes for Sanders on being an idiot, i'm not going to bash his agenda of free everything but rather talk about capitalism. Capitalism has been around for a long time but industrial capitalism which resemble much of what we have today didn't happen til after WW 2. He plans on taxing the rich, redistributing capital, breaking up banks, taxing corporations...ect. The globalized world we live in today is entirely capitalistic, this will obviously have negative effects here in the US when we make the move against capitalism. 
These aren't even really the arguments i am trying to make, but instead i want to focus almost entirely on capitalism. I am definitely pro capitalism right now, i think the pros outweigh the cons by a lot, currently. Whenever people ask me what about ethics i always say well infant mortality rate has halved since capitalism, whats ethical about letting babies die? It's almost as if people don't understand that capitalism has developed our country and most others into the modern day countries they are. People always say "well the systems broke" and its not, it's working more efficiently then ever and the only thing that seems able to stop it is climate change. I think climate change is the only reason capitalism ever will stop, and by the time we figure that problem out i think we will have no need for it anyways. The things is all our politicians say they are gonna do this and that against all the corporations and what not, but it will do absolutely nothing in the long run as long as capitalism exists. This is the system we and the rest of the world have colluded to, if we really want to do anything capitalism would have to stop. Is capitalism that bad? I don't think so and apparently most of the worlds leaders would agree, however as of right now it's definitely not going to last. Putting to use the ideas, technology, wealth, networking...ect i think is the best thing we can do now to stop the bigger problems like climate change, population, food, water later.
