Capitalism has raised billions of people out of poverty. Yes, the people who are no longer starving are happy to no longer be starving. Communism on the other hand usually leads to mass famine. Even nordic democratic socialism is falling apart. None of the systems are perfect, they are all hampered by power hungry leaders. Capitalism clearly seems to be the best option.

"outside of the US" its still true.

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 only way Socialism works is in The Utopia that's never existed.

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.

True... but we've never had absolute capitalism. Just like we've never had absolute communism. Absolute socialism. Absolute monarchy. etc.

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.
