The rich get richer and the poor get poorer because we don't have equality of oppertunity. Still if u worked for ur fortune or not do u really want to take that oppertunity away from everyone else?
Again we do not have equality of oppertunity nor is the ideal of it even particularly tied to capitalism. But we didn't give people the oppertunity we didn't give them a fair chance anyone who pretends we did is either stupid or promoting a straw man.
As for everything u said about the USSR stop sucking the dick of a dead empire.

Maybe social standards dropped cos of a dictatorship not capitalism but who knows. From my understanding there are many nations that had and continue to have far better standards than the soviet union and well all of them are capitalist.
Then again I'm not arguing for or against capitalism or socialist/communist just that we should be willing to accept ideas from both and incorporate them to build something better.
I found the reason people call you names. I'm only here for a polite disagreement. Take it easy
Please do elaborate
