leads to exploitation

You've introduce a new term here, "leads to". The discussion we've been having was about whether it is valid to say that capitalism "enables" exploitation, not "leads to". They're not the same thing.

It's clear from this change in your wording and from this discussion in general that you're being loose in your use of terminology. We're having a discussion about whether a particular term is used in a valid way so being loose in the use of terminology completely obviates the discussion.

I think the problem is that you don't want to have a discussion about the use of the word "enable", you want to rage against capitalism.

exploitation that capitalism enables

Capitalism isn't what enables exploitation.

Take care.
