For a socialist, the problem with capitalism is not that every activity of capitalism is injurious to humanity (it isn't), but that it is a system that simply doesn't care one way or another whether its activities are beneficial or injurious to humanity and to the ecosphere in the long term.

Are you saying that socialism DOES care about being beneficial or injurious to humanity?

So when the USSR instituted collectivisation of agriculture which led to millions of deaths, were they caring about being beneficial or injurious to humanity?
