What is more important, America or capitalism?

And why?

Update:

its not meant to be a frivolous question btw, (consider this at least.....) you can have capitalism without america

Update 2:

ugh, I'll help though.... lest "mutually exclusive" easily distract anyone else who likes the question:

A diamond may be more important than a stick of chewed gum pulled off a sidewalk. If I ask if the diamond or the wad of gum is more important I'm not suggesting they must be mutually exclusive.

In fact they can both be stuck together

just there on some sidewalk.

You pick it up in your hand "hmm what's this?"

I can still ask

"Is the gum or the diamond more important?"

You could say "theyre too difficult to separate"

or "I cant imagine gum without diamonds and I cant imagine diamonds without gum" that would be an honest understandable reaction I guess but I hope most answerers wont feel like I'm handing out an impossibly scrambled rubix cube for everybody to solve.

    People are more important than ideology. Reality is more important than theories. Experience matters more than well-designed plans. Social and community life takes precedence over lines on a map.

    There's no America. North America was renamed 'United States'. (Socialism: people are owned by the state/government) I think that it's a socialist continent already because corporations/banks own the people (like most of the world). I don't think that it's possible for humans to have a communist society because there will be people who want to own things always. Instead of a monetary system of exchange we should have a resource system of exchange. Each continent exchanges resources and give to everyone, or each community can produce resources to exchange.

    Both must die,

    And we must replace then with improved ideologies that will carry the very foundation of humanity, to carry a future for us all, to create a land where people may live to forever pursue happiness and freedom. Both have failed us, and new ideologies will fail us, but that is the beauty of our existence.

    Systems will fail, ideologies will fade, people will fall, and that is why when they fail, we must find a new foundation to place our faith in. The struggle will be a moral one, it will be a physical one, but it must be a struggle.

    America raised as capitalist country.

    There will be no America if it will try to go toward socialist concentration camps.

    America is more important because capitalism is just one part of the skewed equation.
