Competitors can peacefully coexist, even in a "truly capitalist" society.

There is nothing about capitalist society that demands "the strongest must survive by consuming all competitors." You are describing a society of 100% greed and unreasonable avarice, and despite common perception, capitalism and greed are not absolute bedfellows.

In fact, too much greed can corrupt a market to the extent that all competitors are destroyed, including a top dog that cannot sustain itself after fighting too hard to control its market, and finally leaving a market to more savvy and reasonable newcomers.

Don't condemn a system for its bad practitioners.
