Capitalism is a big lie implying everybody can be an Indian Chief, when in actuality they really mean a few lucky white skinned men born with a silver spoon stuck up their ass can be Indian Chief if they try real hard. Alas meritocracy itself is a big lie. So capitalism is a big HOAX also.
Those with sense of reality realize short of winning some mega lottery they arent going to be super wealthy, yet capitalism keeps holding out that illusive carrot for those foolish enough to chase it.

Your view of capitalism is quite skewed! Sounds like sour grapes because you haven't had any personal success. NOBODY implies that everyone can be an Indian Chief! You DO have an opportunity to try but that doesn't guarantee success. In other forms of government there is NO opportunity to even try!
I grew up lower middle class and through a good education and hard work became quite successful...far beyond my wildest dreams. It IS certainly possible for those who obtain the right skill set and have a strong work ethic.
