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 might've been a necessary step along the way, but it's extremely flawed. I mean if it's so great, why do so many companies need to get bailed out by the government? That's socialism, not capitalism, a true capitalist system would just let those companies die.

Marx said this too, capitalism was revolutionary in its time, but evolved in monopolies and control

Also no, that is not socialism, you describe neoliberalism, where the government bails out companies to keep capitalism going by any means necessary

Fair point, it's not really socialism, there'd be no need to bail out a company in Socialism.
