If the ideals of Jesus is the accepted values of Christianity, Capitalism is pretty much the most evil thing ever created.

As with any economic system almost, it can be used to do what Christ would have.  Capitalism says nothing pro or con regarding charity, just who has ownership of capital.

If you want a system that Jesus, real or not, would have endorced, it would be a system where every human being has equal rights and the right to life (shelter, food, healthcare etc.) This is not capitalism.
