I don't think Capitalism has the same goal as Communism or other left wing systems... so from a communist point of view there's absolutely no justification for capitalism.

he just ranted about growth in e-europe

The justification of capitalism is simply that it brings freedom to the maximum amount of people. And, simply put, IT WORKS IN BOTH THEORY AND PRACTICE.

He and Naomi Klein are two of my favorites.

How did the 5% get to their position? Do you not think they must have had some innovation? Those at the bottom have freedom, so your statement is invalid. They have the freedom to advance, like those who are head of corporations. They can get there, too. And many have, through poverty, risen up and become successful.
