There is no temporal component to capitalism. What you are ascribing to it is better stated as "Our PC bullshit society which also happens to hold some tenants of capitalism".

capitalism says that if you can make money by shitting and farting on yourself and eating your own shit and maybe having other people shit on you and you eat their shit as well, that you are doing a service to the economy, because you are fulfilling a demand.

No. Capitalism merely allows for the existence of voluntary trade and transactions which lead to positive-sum outcomes for those involved. WHAT those transactions end up being/involving is wholly a function of the cultural norms of the society which is, in most respects, completely separate.

Not at all. You could have a community which values and upholds private property and voluntary transactions while having very prude social norms (i.e. no shit-eating). The only possible linkage is if you could show that adhering to more capitalistic principles somehow caused a degeneration in the moral framework of the society. I doubt this is the case given the numerous examples of degeneracy sans capitalism, but that should atleast be your starting point if you want to go down this path.

you don't HAVE communities when raw capitalism takes over and makes every man an island. that's the point.

To be fair,

Can't you sort of say this (or similar things) about any economic structure?

"Anarchism says that if a bunch of shit eaters decide to openly share each others shit and eat it in a voluntary commune, that's fine, because it's a non-coercive state free society."

"Socialism says that if the government forces the peasants to eat piss and shit then they should do so because without state intervention they'd get an even worse deal in the open market."

etc.

okay, look - what i'm trying to say is that the replacement of something like "local norms" with an abstract SYSTEM of any sort is costly. pol pot tried to reset cambodia to a year zero. capitalism without a restraining culture underneath does the same thing with norms and values.
