Capitalism, like cancer, can't be avoided. Economics is more like the laws of physics than a game of Monopoly: you can't really opt out of it because it simply describes the way things "want to" work (people competing for scarce resources).
Unlike cancer, I suspect that if we're sufficiently clever we can figure out a way to manage the symptoms in perpetuity.
So you think some "we" can be clever enough to manage economics but some "we" (perhaps same, perhaps different) can't be clever enough to manage cancer. Bummer.
