“Capital comes dripping from head to toe, from every pore, with blood and dirt.” is attributed to whom?

Not as much blood as Marx's adherents: Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot and others.

While not perfection, capitalism has lifted more people out of poverty and even to affluence on their own hard work.

That is a true statement. It persist till today. The rich takes from the poor.

Tom, Amen... redistributing all the wealth sure does cost a lot of lives. Mainly the poor.

The prioritizing of power and profits today negatively impacting the vast majority, and only benefiting the minority is criminal.

Tom, AGREED!
