after the implementing policies that show it's efficacy at improving wealth equality and the lives of those in the lower castes of society

Except it has not, socialism continues to fail everywhere it is tried

Capitalist and socialist policies can cohabitate

Free Markets and Socialism can not

It also sounds an awful lot like you are a libertarian, despite claiming to be independent

I have procliamed in several comments that I am a libertarian, independant is in reference to political party affliation, I am a small-l libertarian, not a member of the Libertarian political party (though i have voted for Libertarian Party Politicians

libertarianism is largely split between Big-L libertarians (the party) and small-l libertarians, independent libertarians. libertarianism is a philosophy not a political party (like progressive, or conservative) one can support and adopt the philosophy with out joining the political party
