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.

How every every person supposed to make it under capitalism? It's a system that empowers the people at the top to keep gaining more power and wealth until they have all the power and wealth. We're seeing this happen before our own eyes, can you not see the problems with that?

Socialism on the other hand is about distributing the wealth equitably amongst everyone, so while there may not be anyone who's super rich, there's also no one who's homeless and starving. Personally I'm perfectly fine with no rich people if it means every gets a chance to thrive, and their basic rights aren't being exploited for someone else to get rich off of.
