nick,

All living things do not capitalize.

This would imply that all human and non-human societies were capitalist, 
   which is a strange restrictive understanding of the variations of 
human and non-human societies.

I have noticed an increasing tendency to accept this liberal line of 
thought but  rarely is the proposition actually presented. (Though I 
think we probably have before).
