While Capitalism definitely sucks ass, I feel like no matter what economic system you're in there's always going to be some treadmill to walk, because there will always be things you need, and you will need to work to earn them in some way.
Even communism doesn't just give everybody shit for free
It's not even remotely comparable. Let's take USSR as an example. Nobody worried about being fired and ending up on the street or about being able to retire in dignity. Everyone enjoyed over 20 days vacation, guaranteed work, and retirement by 60 for men, 55 for women. You had to work, but you basically had to do the bare minimum, and shit like overtime was basically unheard of. It's hard to describe how much stress is removed from people's lives when they don't constantly have to worry whether they're gonna be able to afford basic necessities of life.
There's never been a time under capitalism where there wasn't homelessness or exploitation. The whole system is built around people who own capital exploiting the workers. In fact, having destitute people is a core component of the system https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reserve_army_of_labour
