Capitalism has done as much as it has for the advancement of the human species because it aligns with our basic nature (gather and amass resources) while producing and innovating with the unintended side effect of improving quality of life overall.
I still feel that regulated capitalism is the way to go for most industries. The exception is services which should have 100% coverage, such as medical, acidemia or utilities. Those should be government ran.
Your missing the panel for Socialism where it's holding a ticking time bomb, is covered with a blanket, and a sign draped across the front saying "Everything is fine."
And one for Communism, where it says, "Don't worry. I'll take care of you. I have your best interests at heart. You can trust me."
You aren't familiar with how that are defined because all the counrtries claiming to be socialist or communist are really just diguised authoritarian dictators. True communism and true socialism actually work (at least in small experiments).
It's a good idea in theory, but fails to execute at scale. The system relies on the goodness of all people within a system. Socialism and Communism both begin to fail when people realize the system is ripe to be taken advantage of.
I don't believe a true system exists even at small scale. All it takes is one leader or government to take advantage of the system, and there's nothing you can do to stop them. You've given them all the tools they need to rule with impunity.
It's been proven at small by the kibbutz in Israel. As a micro communist village, they were very successful.
