We actually do have a term for that. It's called capitalist realism.

I haven't read that book, but it sounds like he's taking the starting point of my opinions, and then going way too far with the conclusions.

I think part of the problem is that people seem to view these systems as absolutes that that we have to go all in with and apply to everything. I think they should be thought of more like tools. You apply the right tools to the right situations.

Like a capitalism tool? Or a capitalist realism perspective tool?

For the latter I agree, good to have many lenses to look at things through.
