I think it's a false dyhotomy. I think that "system" is a structured atrmpt to solve social problems - some of those are more efficiently solved by individuals and competotions, some are more efficiently solved by collective effort and collaboration. The dissaggreement between people about which system is better is mostly a categorization of those problem - if you believe almost non are in the first category. But it is a spectrum. Society with overwelmingly capitalist economy, strong social werfare and hard rules that prevents police from killing thieves over food, are not impossible. Those describe most European countries. I feel like people are taking what's broken in US and and point to it saying "this is capitalism". I don't believe it is. I think it's mostly lawlessness and the lack of rule of law. I think capitatalism at it best make most aggressive and predotory tactic both ilegal and inefficient. We just don't see a lot of capitalism at it's best recently.
