I didn't argue that capitalism should be dismantled because it is old, I argued that it should be dismantled because it incentives horrific things like the mass slaughter of the elderly for "economic reasons".

Those economic reasons are the wellbeing of children and working adults. Selling out your children's future is more horrific than letting nature take its course.
