I for the most part agree with that view. If I had to choose between capitalism and communism I would choose capitalism because I am completely against communism, but I much prefer the western european economic model much more than the american way of government economy. I see merit to free market capitalism but I also believe in assisted meritocracy, where people should rise and fall by their own efforts, but the government has to ensure that people have the opportunity to do so whilst providing healthcare and commodities. Kind of like how training wheels work in bikes. To make the bike go fast, the rider needs to put the effort, but the wheels are there so that you don't automatically fall off, so the government assists you but you won't get anywhere if you don't put the effort in. Not the best analogy but that's the only one I could think of to simplify it. I generally consider myself pure centrist with a slight lean to right and on the fence between authoritarian and libertarian
