There is no way to peacefully dismantle capitalism
Just stop using money. Don’t engage with billionaires. Go live off-grid on a tiny plot of farmland and get it registered as a church so you don’t pay taxes. Tada, you are now free of capitalism.
If you have enough money to buy a tenth of an acre of land ($500) and a tent, then stop pretending like your continued engagement with billionaires is anyone’s fault but your own.
But I don’t want to live in a tent
Living in a tent is far better than our early ancestors lived, but alright. Find someone willing to build you a house for free, then. Or you can barter it for a goat.
But my living in a tent won’t end capitalism
Yes, you cannot end capitalism on your own. Unless you’re suggesting that you should you have the authority to stop others from doing capitalism just because you don’t like it?
But if everyone lived off grid, the government would come in and kill them
Millions of people are currently living off-grid in the US and the government has protected and continues to protect their right to do so. Don’t assume that everyone in the US (or wherever you are, Russia probably) is a capitalist just because you surround yourself with capitalists.
But historically the government has killed people
“The government” is not an entity. There are tons of different governments at all different levels, and you need to look at their behavior in aggregate rather than looking at individual examples. In aggregate, most people find that democratic governments keep them safe, fed, and healthy.
Go outside and make some friends. Being lonely and afraid is the #1 cause of extremism, so just know that people in the real world will value you far more than anyone on the internet will.

Oh look… a liberal arguing with itself!
How are those millions coming along, temporarily embarrassed billionaire?
Oh look, someone who thinks they’re being clever embarrassing themselves in public
I’m not the one arguing with myself on a public forum, genius - you are.
That doesn’t even make sense. You’re very bad at this.
Again, liberal… I’m not the one arguing with myself on a public forum, genius - you are.
