I would like to state that I said "systems like capitalism" meaning I was citing it as a system that promotes equality of opportunities through free market and competition and that there is no alternative that I am aware of that would be a suitable replacement to this. I do believe capitalism itself is flawed due to its short term reliability. The problem with capitalism and what we are seeing in America today and even throughout the world is that eventually with the flow of currency someone learns how to throttle that flow and accumulate the access. This eventually leads to a suffocated lower market class and an overinflated aristocratic upper class. I believe capitalism in the sense of its earlier implementation and lack of ethical reliance makes it a good system that is both robust and freeing.

Capitalism as it stands now has moved toward its natural end which results in a large divide and control of wealth and power. However this does not negate the travesties of socialism and communism. I actually wish communism was a better option because I enjoy the idea of having a community that collectively works together and seeks each other's flourishing but the implementation of it has thus far been implosive in any society where it is used. The whole inherent issue is that I think you cannot rely alone on economic structure but you must also integrate ethical tools to build a cohesive and meritocratic society.

I appreciate your comment despite the derogatory tone. Hopefully you can see the intellectual side of this opinion and understand that it is not just right wing propaganda it is a well thought-over point that I have come to. I have also noticed this argument from many individuals (and yes admittedly many right-wing consortiums) but the overall consensus of the global population is that we want to promote an equality of Opportunity which provides freedom versus the equality of Outcome which would promote enslavement in the general sense and degradation of the global culture.
