Totally agree, but I think the question that capitalists need to ask is given the current level of abundance in X and scarcity in Y, what should every human being be privelaged to?
When food was scarce, it would be unreasonable to think that anyone but those that produced the food were entitled. However, now that we can produce as much food as we currently can, how can we justify that some people in the world can exist in such dire straits that they must still endure hunger.
Today, we have enough abundance in key areas of human necessity that should be able to ensure that no human goes hungry ever again, yet many still do.
