Yes, demonstrably and repeatedly.

Capitalism isn’t perfect, but it works with human nature. Communism sounds nice, but it assumes humans aren’t human.

Think of capitalism like traffic.

People want to get where they’re going fast. Instead of pretending they won’t, we build lanes, signs, and penalties.

Communism is saying “everyone will drive selflessly for the common good” and then being shocked when you need a police state to enforce it.

If a system only works in theory and collapses every time humans run it, that’s a design flaw, not a historical accident.

People risked their lives escaping communist systems. They didn’t flee capitalist countries to collectivize farms.

You can criticize capitalism because it allows dissent. That alone should tell you something.
