Capitalism is by far the worst economic system, except for all the alternatives.

Abso fucking lutely not lol. Capitalism is the only system every person has a chance to make it. Other systems will not give that privilege to you. They will stop you.

You haven't really understood the underlying workings of other systems we've had in mankind's history.

Capitalism only gives every person “a chance to make it” when it’s continuously expanding into new markets.

A saturated global economy with no new frontiers left to open is one which quickly sees consolidation and the birth of a new feudalism. (See also elite overproduction crises, high-level equilibrium traps, etc…)

(Also note that I’m not advocating socialism or any other system, for that matter. Just noting that the reality isn’t so rosie.)
