From Citation 33 of the Wikipedia article you linked. Reading the original source provides the context of the quote.
Why don’t you do the same? Your original quote is 137 years old. It is in fact problematic to equate the economic landscape of 2023 to that of 1886. In that quote Douglass is specifically criticizing the treatment of freed slaves, not capitalism in general. (If you want to convince people capitalism is bad, you need to make valid criticisms, not twist old quotes to suit your narrative)
It appears you have a paper thin understanding of the world around you. Some conservative meme spam should fix that.
