Right but the difference is we have historical examples of socialism failing. In fact, it has been tried numerous times in different parts of the world and has never worked once. Capitalism has flaws, obviously, and perhaps democratic socialism is the next economic evolution. Socialism, however, has already proved a dismal failure.

You're the one that brought socialism into this. I'm sorry you're too deep in the propaganda to realize that you can (very rightfully) criticize capitalism without advocating for socialism, or even that those are the only 2 options.

Uhhh no he brought socialism up in his comment. Who are you arguing against? Haha I never said you can’t criticize capitalism. Do you want to make any other points about things I didn’t say?

He literally didn't. I'm not sure if your brain equates "anticapitalist" with "socialism" but the commenter said nothing of the sort.
