@Prinzinc capitalism also does not take human nature into account in the way that would solve it. It encourages it beyond what a normál society should have. Because why care about the customer if they have no other option but to buy from you? And they have to buy from you because you bought up all the competition.

Just because it lasted longer than communism it doesn't make it superior. It's the same corrupt people leading both

@tormasi Again, that's like saying that a flawed system that works isn't better than a flawed system that has never worked. Of course it's better. 

Forcing people to buy from a single source isn't capitalism, it's a monopoly. Monopolies aren't capitalism because capitalism requires free trade and monopolies are inherently the death of free trade. 

Seizing the means of production and demanding that the state runs most/all institutions is how socialism and communism work. That's how your get monopolies. That's why capitalism has safeguards against forming monopolies and socialism/communism requires them. If you really hate monopolies as much as you claim, then you have to hate socialism and communism more than capitalism since capitalism is the only one of those three that actively fights against monopolies.
