You have got to be the bougiest most privileged asshole ever to unironically endorse a completely failed system of organizing society. It has failed over and over, spanning multiple centuries, accross multiple cultures and extremely varied parts of the world. To the extent that some countries are partially capitalist, they succeed in spite of it, not because of it (they succeed because of the socialist elements). Likewise if you want to shit on socialism and actually be honest and consistent about it, you have to first acknowledge the good it does and continues to do. It's very hard to do the same for capitalism, since it has historically resulted in mountains of skulls and mass starvation, and I think there was like one purely capitalist society that existed for all of ten years before collapsing. Any economic system that is almost indistinguishable in concept from rage against the machine lyrics is probably going to be unimaginably simplistic and dumb.

Unless you're just trolling of course in which case gg
