Capitalism is only unjust in principle if you subscribe to the labor theory of value, which I do not.
Capitalism can be unjust in practice because the means to employment, profit, self-improvement, and wealth are easily monopolized in an industrial society. Capitalism in practice requires government intervention to prevent a two-class economy in which the unmonied class are completely blocked from mobility.
Statism is unjust in principle, but a little bit of Statism in practice can mitigate against the practical injustices of Capitalism.
