In a purely socialist system, all power lies in the government itself. All decisions for resource distribution lies with the government itself. In a capitalist system, power is more distributed between the government and private organizations. The government alone doesn’t get to decide who gets what resources. while these private organizations will collaborate with the gov and vice versa at times, there will always be some tension between the groups since they are constantly competing for power, which results in an adhoc system of checks and balances vs a system of near absolute power IMO we’ve already tried that experiment. It doesn’t work. Pure socialism and pure capitalism only work in ivory towers
