If winners under capitalism are random, then they are not easily culpable as scapegoats (even rationalizations must be rational to a degree). The result is losers scapegoat the system itself. And capitalism-the-system does not care whether you hate it.

In a perfectly just capitalism, the systematic scapegoating would just escalate one level, until everyone hated God instead of capitalism.

That's a good question, and one I am investing a substantial amount of energy into trying to solve in the concept of post-scarcity non-coercive societies (which are dubiously but cladistically capitalist).
