There are many many primitive societies with no concept of capital or capitalism so I think I’d take issue with your assertion that capitalism is “just what naturally happens when humans interact with each other.”

Absolutely. There is nothing “natural” about capitalism. It sprung up in some place of the world (not all) a couple of centuries ago. Thousands of years of humanity and no capitalism before that.

There is nothing natural or inevitable about capitalism. Historical determinism is plain wrong. Capitalism is just one of many ways to organize a society. Its time will pass in due course. Probably not in our lifetimes, unfortunately.
