> The real goal of capitalism is exploit or be exploited.
The real goal of capitalism is to increase the amount of capital available. This fundamentally is not possible via exploitation alone. Capitalism - nor the economy - is not a zero-sum game. This type of simplistic thinking makes people dismiss real criticisms over the real-world implementation of American capitalism.

The south built an entire economy based on 'exploitation alone' in the early 1800's....
You need to qualify your statement: 'The real goal of capitalism is to increase the amount of capitalism available'. Available to who? humanity at large? Nope. Capitalists don't share their wealth. Capitalism increases capital for the people who control the capital. See every economic study made in the past ten years. The middle and working class exist to serve the capitalists aims. Slavery in a pretty package.
