Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it's actually pretty popular.

These problems simply cannot be fixed in a capitalist framework

They were fixed in the past. Trust-busting, Keynesian Economic Policy, taxing the wealthy.

It's just we've been stuck in the Reagan's supply side economics bullshit for decades now. The problems we're seeing now are because of proven economic solutions being abandoned because the wealthy have confused the voting public to think that we shouldn't go back to policies that worked for over six decades.
