UH --- true about not something you buy in stores and true war is a terrible tragedy to humankind but sorry, capitalism is not the CAUSE of war, cannot be the CAUSE of war. If that were true, then we humans would only have been fighting wars for a few hundred years, say 500 at the most, since "capitalism" is a relatively recent social development.
Might I call your attention to the historical and archeological evidence. I believe the oldest certain evidence we have for the antiquity of war is the fact that the first defensive town wall went up around the original site of Jericho about 7000 years ago. Which appears to have been inhabited by resonably egalitarian hunter-gatherers >
Near as we can tell, humans have ALWAYS fought wars with their neighbors, possibly as far back as we have been human, and certainly LONG before the first capitalist. Within a capitalist society, there will be capitalist reasons for war but that isn't saying much -- just that in a society of type X the reasons things happen will be related to X rathehr than to Y.
I am hopeful that if we ever achieve an egalitarian socialist society we can do away with the evil of inequitable distribution within our society. But I am not at all hopeful that this would eliminate the evil of war. I am afraid that our socialist society will manage to find perfectly good socialist reasons to fight wars with its neighbors --- notwithstanding the fact that I cannot imagine what these might be
