Hard to blame this specifically on Capitalism because it doesn't force working forever, it just doesn't have a mechanism to prevent it. You CAN save all your money and retire at 40.
Democratic-Capitalism brings us the social safety net which usually DOES have a specific mechanism to allow for retirement at a certain age. So that proves those things are not incompatible, Capitalism isn't working against retirement, it's just not focused on retirement at all.
