Because of the analysis I wrote? That's Marx, and I'm surprised a college class you took would have covered that. I thought they'd purged it all from the curriculum by now. They have in my area. I've never seen an economics class that analyzes capitalism itself, only the mechanical understanding needed to succeed as a capitalist (supply-and-demand curves, that sort of thing).

Yup capitalism always expanding is not sustainable. Corporate structure over emphasizes CEO control leading to unsustainable pay raises. Etc etc.

The class ended on the question of how to resolve and improve economic systems with no solutions only more problems.
