You're confusing human interaction with capitalism. Look up capitalism on wikipedia if you don't know what it is:
"Capitalism generally refers to an economic system in which the means of production are mostly privately[1] owned and operated for profit..."
You're right that humans can't exist without interacting with each other, but there are plenty of alternatives to an economic system that concentrates the wealth among the few, and develops political systems to lock the majority out and refuse them any say on the economic decisions that affect their lives.
If you think that the protestors have got nothing better to say than "scrap capitalism", then you're pretty ignorant, haven't been listening, and shouldn't comment on the issue.
Protestors have been articulating alternatives to anyone who will listen - clearly not you.
These differ, but the common thread is a demand for economic democracy. Do it some justice and blog honestly.
The "efficiency of markets" post was crap as well, by the way.
