Was Adorno right about most of the stuff? Can we still have a form of capitalism without it destroying authenticity?

I really hope you aren't imlying Adorno had even the tiniest optimism for both capitalism or socialism. Both are enlightenment cuck ideologies.
Honestly Adorno is just secular De Maisre.

Nope but I'm a technologist so to speak so I tend do think that with even more tech progress we can attain enough comfort to start producing authentic art and subsequently again.
I know Adorno thought that technology is just another Enlightenment spook for humans to control ie attain power over nature to easier attain power over humans. Still I remain positive.

no. He was a ideologue intellectual in the worst sense of the word who LITERALLY believed that anyone that disagreed with his political views was a mentally ill fascist
Why does he look in pain in every picture?

He was just a deeply and justifiably unhappy man with reach. His aesthetics were generally wrong, which is too bad for him, since his personal life was bound up so much in aesthetics and the arts. oh well.
For an infinitely more intriguing contemporary composer, see Penderecki.
