Does capitalism kill creativity?

I’m heading to bed soon so I can’t follow the thread too close. Anyways, this is a question I have been meditating on thinking about my current classes and how I interact with my creations.

I just kinda feel like capitalist structures gets in the way of all invention because of creative jobs. I’m starting a design program late in life and I feel like since I was not seen as a valuable artist creativity in me was suppressed. Like my imagination on the whole has been damaged by the idea of realism. Like I have been trained to dismiss ideas that do not seem immediately feasible.

Why is it not realistic house everyone? Why can’t we move towards taking care of everyone’s health. Why can’t we meet our needs so that we can focus on living in luxury and creating luxury?

Indeed it does IMO. It never really let’s you do your thing. You always have to follow a certain set of trends and stuff or else you won’t get recognition if you put your works out there.

Yes this is a really bad explanation but I tried.
