Capitalism is a system in which there will be winners and losers, but our social safety net acts as if that is not the case.
In the context of this thread and Fred's post they are separate. Everyone based on Fred's example was based around the idea of "no losers" and avoiding furthering this narrative, however this thread is based around castes and the idea that certain people are precluded from succeeding which led to my anyone comment.
Again as I said, anyone is capable of succeeding however everyone can not succeed.
