The biggest problem with "capitalism" is that nobody ever practices it....but acts like it's the best system ever.
Because all the biggest proponents of "capitalism" beg their governments for money to cover their risks and failures.
The people subsidize the health insurance industry. The automobile industry. The banking industry. The housing industry. The professional sports industry.
Everything.
So anyone who wants to sit here and ask "what system is better?"....first answer me why everyone ALWAYS socializes the risks and privatizes the profits? Because in a capitalistic system, this would never happen.
