Most people work a job they are unhappy with because they need the money for basic needs. If your basic needs are being met like food, housing , etc you are able to pursue something you enjoy doing to make additional money. You are no longer forced to labor for someone else, to sell your labor so someone else can profit off it.
A lot less crime for one. We funnel people into prison because of how currency functions. If Basic Needs were met like not charging for food or other necesseities people wouldn’t be nearly as miserable. Shouldn’t take a rocket scientist to understand this. Complain about where the money comes from all you want but keeping things status quoe means we are okay with all the cruelty in our world.
how would that be different without capitalism?

Is misery really the only factor? I know a lot of people who are doing well or really well that are complete assholes and steal shit
Stealing for necessities is really rare. People are just selfish assholes
Non-capitalism doesn’t magically make people rich. Don’t know what you’re thinking. If anything, you consume less
