Has real capitalism never been tried?

No it has been tried pretty much. In the US, the "robber barons" called the shots.

Currently, Somalia is close to it

What do you mean by real capitalism? The US has real capitalism and no Democratic or Republican president has changed that.

To the extent it has been tried, unregulated capitalism leads quickly to monopoly,which leads to tyranny and hereditary totalitarianism upheld by capital.  Laws need to be able to rein in the rapacity of people.

When Roman rule no longer prevailed in northern and western Europe, we had a mutli-century period of unfettered capitalism in which market forces weren't significantly checked by either worker or consumer protections. This period is known as The Dark Ages.

Yes but only in the age of imperialist expansion. Unfiltered, raw world conquest.

Everything else is somebody's watered down political bs.
