Capitalism is a system where an individual is free to reap the benefits of their production. Taxes, slave masters, compulsory fealty to an arbitrary government- that is all opposed to Capitalism. True Capitalism is economic freedom. The fact that something may seem inevitable doesn't make it inherent. For example, I would argue that giving power of distribution over resources to any third party makes corrupt rulers inevitable. However, I would not say that corruption is inherent in Ccommunism. Instead it would be... all but impossible to stop. It is still contrary to the philosophy behind the system, though.
