 My fear is young people may blame Capitalism, even though we should blame Crony Capitalism. Which is what we have today.

 I like to call it corporatism + socialism for the rich. Feels very far from functional capitalism so I take out the word altogether

 Kleptocracy is to blame. It's not only us (unwillingly) having to support dozens of people we'll never meet in real life, it's the government who shamelessly steals from us. We need to become ungovernable.

 Managerial socialism, yes

The remnants of capitalism are all that's keeping us afloat
