Ah yes, the system responsible for the production, allocation and hoarding of every resource and service in our entire civilization, the system that creates every single incentive by which we are motivated or punished, simply must not be responsible for this. It must just be “some other horror.”
What, you think “ethics” is something that exists independently of the social order that creates it? It’s capitalist ethics, just like marrying your daughter to some nobleman twice her age in exchange for some cows was feudal ethics.
Your example includes the transfer of wealth in the story and yes I agree it’s likely the driving force behind the event.
This OP doesn’t have the same pointy capitalist part. It is only being assumed so. I’m not oblivious to the type of community this is but the blind hatred of capitalism is just that. Blind.
It’s not. It has nothing to do with capitalism. It’s some other horror.

It’s an ethical judgement, not capitalist

Abusing brain dead people for money is absolutely capitalism
I guess if you assume the worst in people you can make any story fit any narrative.
