The case for abolition of capitalism is a lot more involved than raising wages. And simply raising wages alone would not come close to a holistic, equitable solution to wealth inequality and systemic oppression.

I dont have the time or desire to get into the minutae of socialist critiques of capitalism but marx is a great place to start. Marxism Today has a playlist breaking down Marxism-Lininism-Maoism. Skip to the bottom bit for pure economic analysis of capitalism and it's flaws.

I'm an anarchist personally and I only really value their critique as far as it applies to anti-capitalism. But they make a good case for their ideology and it would at least expose.you to general underpinnings of socialist thought. If you're interested in actually learning about the thing you're seemingly against, I'd be happy to provide more resources in whichever format you prefer. They will have a far more libertarian socialist slant to them than the link I provided above though, so fair warning
