Capitalism is a economic system. It doesn't have to be any "survival competition".

Wrong. Capitalism has EVERYTHING to do with survival until food, shelter, healthcare, and education are provided free to all human beings as a birthright.

If someone falls you would natural help that person up.

In what twisted fucking fantasy version capitalism does this actually happen? When someone falls you stomp their face into the mud, pick their pockets, and run off. Selfishness is the manifest reality of capitalism. Take the blinders off and see your society for what it is.

Would it be against human nature to be involved in voluntary trade?

The part where if we serfs don't pay our rent to our landlords, they send the knights(police) to haul us away in chains(handcuffs) and throw us out into the streets to die of exposure. Here in NYC, the homeless often relieve themselves in phonebooths to avoid being caught exposing themselves publicly and thrown into dungeons.

Or the part where if a starving person takes food without permission, thereby cutting into some capitalist's profit-margins, that person has committed a crime, and will be thrown into a dungeon(prison) to rot. Capitalism is little more than thinly-veiled feudalism. A society governed by violence first and reason second (if at all).

Any lover of reason must be opposed to violence, because the world is a zero-sum game between reason and violence. Where one waxes, the other wanes. Capitalism cannot exist without systemic, mass-scale violence. Ergo, any person who wants to live in a world governed by reason must be opposed to capitalism.

Premise Four:
"Civilization is based on a clearly defined and widely accepted yet often unarticulated hierarchy. Violence done by those higher on the hierarchy to those lower is nearly always invisible, that is, unnoticed. When it is noticed, it is fully rationalized. Violence done by those lower on the hierarchy to those higher is unthinkable, and when it does occur is regarded with shock, horror, and the fetishization of the victims."

Premise Five:
"The property of those higher on the hierarchy is more valuable than the lives of those below. It is acceptable for those above to increase the amount of property they controlin everyday language, to make moneyby destroying or taking the lives of those below. This is called production. If those below damage the property of those above, those above may kill or otherwise destroy the lives of those below. This is called justice."
-Derrick Jensen

Fuedalism. With heavy makeup, dressed in its Sunday best, delivered with a warm smile and a charismatic speech. That's all capitalism is.

Once you accept this reality, there is no way for any person with an ounce of compassion in their heart to be be anything but disgusted by it.
