Not what I mean by capitalism.
Capitalism makes the rules of society more explicit and legible. Therefore, capitalism benefits people who benefit from the rules of society being explicit and legible, and harms those who benefit from the rules of society being opaque. Much follows from this.

Who benefits from an opaque society? How?
-
People who can't compete on a more level playing field. People whose advantages are based on high context social competency vs technical competency. So for example, capitalism is a better system for high functioning autistic people. Opacity rewards social games, not building

For Socialism to work we need... Well we need opacity, so we can have impunity for the crimes we commit in the name of socialism. See Venezuela for an example. The highest reward is impunity for corrupt acts that benefit the government.

Disagree. Capitalism does not require rules of society. Democracies/republics impose rules to govern the least scrupulous among us. Most powerful then use influence and levers of democracies/republics to create rules to protect themselves and impede competition.

Perhaps I should have said that capitalism tends to make incentives and interests more apparent. "Rules of society" might be too strong a way of phrasing it.
