"OK so look, Capitalism is right wing.

Period.

If you are pro-capitalism, you are Right Wing.

There is no pro-capitalist Left. That’s a polite fiction in the US that no one can afford any longer as the ecosystem is actually collapsing around us."

    Capitalism isn’t an ideology it’s an economic system

    Well, it’s both. All economic systems are ideologies with specific values and concerns.

    it’s as good or as bad as the mechanisms put in place to govern/control/rule it

    This implies that economic systems can’t be good or bad in themselves. But every implementation of capitalism (or any other economic system) is going to reflect that system’s values, and those values can be judged to be good or bad. So I think it’s reasonable to label different economic systems as “good” or “bad”, so long as you precisely define the system and its values before judging it.
