The hording and eliteness is not a property of the capitalistic system. It might be an unwanted side effect. Imperialism, greed, urge to expand control, subordination of others are unfortunately human traits. You might attribute that behavior to any system, why single out capitalism?

Because capitalism explicitly encodes transactionalism into the social structure by alienating labor from the fruits of the labor.

There’s no period of time where that has not been true for some portion is society, but we reached a point to which there are no places where that is not true.
