Yet, every time that they've tried, on a national level, stop or control Capitalism, it has ended in disaster. The Soviet Union, China, Cambodia, Venezuela, Zimbabwe, North Korea, Germany (the Nazis were National Socialists, just like China is today) and Cuba, have all ended in famine, starvation, prison camps, poverty, authoritarianism and oppression. Not ONE has ended in a better life for the average citizen.
Capitalism does not pit one group against the other. In fact, people have to cooperate in order to make the economy work, on a voluntary level, with agreements that are bound by the rule of law. It's when the economy is overtly controlled, that's when we run into problems. Top down authority, over reaching control on what we buy, sell, trade and how we use the capital we earned through our own efforts has been the worst of all governing methods. It was in the old Monarchy system and it was in every government who tried to socially control its citizens through economic dominance. Show me the Socialist nation that has thrived...just one. The only one that I can think of is China and they've interred over 1 million Uyghurs because of their faith and have persecuted the Falun Gong, Tibetans and others.
The world isn't perfect but your Socialist dream has even been worse. Right now, it's tearing the US apart.
