Capitalism seemed to work for a while only because it has been tempered with socialists fighting back hard and incentives being aligned for a while (build more high-tech, time-saving stuff like fridges).
Now when the market has saturated with time-saving goods, capitalism needs to widen the divide between workers and owners more and more just to keep going.
Outside of the US, do people think that truth can be changed because you aren't in the US? Just deny literally 100+ years of history?

The real life examples of socialism are authoritarian nightmares. Thinking that outside of the US this isn't still true is an... interesting... attempt to deny history.
What we have is imperfect capitalism vs imperfect communism vs imperfect socialism vs ...
The reality is that imperfect capitalism, despite its flaws, is better than the alternatives, despite the attempt to ignore their flaws.
Because that's the only way you can argue socialism is better... is arguing the idea of socialism vs the reality of capitalism.
We can discuss the "line" that gets drawn but when that line crosses from one system to the other? We can absolutely judge Capitalism vs Socialism vs Communism.
