    Capitalism is the only economic model that consistently works.

    Every time socialism/communism fails everyone is making excuses why but capitalism keeps moving along making people’s lives better.

    Almost nobody hates capitalism. Even most of those who say they do actually like it.

    I feel like it"s the opposite - people blame economic system for their problems because they look for an easy simple answer where they are justified of not doing anything.

    People overly hate capitalism. Almost no person in the entire world is for completely free market capitalism.

    Capitalism works to increase efficiency and distribute resources effectively.

    The issue is politics. Politics is broken not capitalism.
