"Maybe capitalism isn't great, but dang, some of the replacements turned out to be a lot worse." Well in terms of history we have not had a very long time for this experiment to play out. It is very possible that the construction of a system which allows both the generation of several billions of dollars also causes far greater harm than some of the other systems which were too heavy on the gas so to speak. If history is a guide, all forms of a system fall due to avarice, vanity, or an external system which is operating 'better' at the current time.
