Capitalism at its core means no entity government or otherwise has the right to use violence or other significant threats to force you to participate in the economy.

Corporations can certainly be evil monopolizing overlords but they don't get to force you to work for them or purchase their goods/services, and they're not allowed to forcibly stop you from trying to compete with them, either. You are always free to boycott for any reason.

The alternative is that some entity ie the "government" gets to force people to work X jobs for X compensation (or else) and gets to decide for you what you can purchase and how much and for what price. Police brutality against union members on strike is a historical example of anti-capitalist sentiment from government, though the irony is lost on most modern day anti-capitalist pro-union types, who can't comprehend that unions are quite capitalist in their nature, using basic supply/demand principles in negotiations.

But anyway, people are turning against capitalism because capitalism does require active participation in society and a willingness for personal sacrifice, in the forms of boycotts and strikes etc, to use deliberate supply/demand maneuvers as leverage.

Instead more and more people just want a powerful authority figure to do all the work for them and save them. Most people are frankly going to get what they deserve as capitalism is thrown out the window in favor of brazen government control.
