Capitalism works best when capital is invested in enterprises that employ workers; and when workers are well paid and spend their wages on goods and services. It is a potentially symbiotic relationship.
Low wages and employment practices that are detrimental to productivity and the health of workers are anti-capitalist.
Treating labour as a cost of doing business, rather than as partners in creating profit is anti-capitalist.
Accumulation of uninvested capital is anti-capitalist.
Investments that do not create jobs are anti-capitalist (i.e. gambling on the future price of property, commodities, or currencies).
Removing protections and degrading governance so as to allow fraud and malfeasance on a massive scale is anti-capitalist.
So whatever has been happening as a result of the Neoliberal revolution is not capitalism. It's profoundly anti-capitalist.
