"Capitalism" is an economic vehicle, not an economic system.
Socialists use it extensively, mainly to fund their horrible
war machines -- the Soviets and the Nazis for instance.
Socialism only works on paper and requires the barrel of gun
to force others to produce when they do not get to see the
fruits of their labor. And keep in mind that Socialists
have cost humanity over 200 million souls in the past
decade alone.
The "free free market" on the other hand, if you do not meet
the needs of your customers, you fail. Sure, folks can cheat,
but they only get away with it for so long. Under the free market,
the only way to achieve maximum profit is keep your customers happy.
I live it and breath it every day of my life.
One of the few proper usages of government is to make sure folks
don't cheat (monopolies, etc.). But even without this, monopolies
do eventually fail anyway -- it just takes longer. Microsoft,
who does cheat, will feel the full force of this eventually.
Do not be fooled by flowery, utopian descriptions of Socialism
in college text books. Look around you. It has never been
successful anywhere it has been tried. And remember the lost
200 millions souls. A good place to start looking would be
the current situation in Venezuela.
