    I prefer socialism,but not the extreme forms of it,such as marxism or communism.In capitalism,the purpose is to make a business thrive at any cost,because in that way more job positions are created.However,this means that the workers are exploited a lot so that the business can thrive fast and the businessman can get as much money as possible.All the money which is collected will be used to open another business,get more money,exploit the workers even more, and so on.Ι definitely don't agree with that!!!Since I know the idea of socialism,where this exploitation does not exist,I prefer it.I also believe that when capitalism is at its peak,it will automatically collapse,as there will be no place where a business won't exist.It is a matter of time,I think,but this will take years!!!

    Capitalism seems to have worked for the last 200 years in the US.

    Well you're going to have a mix in almost any case. "Pure capitalism" in the real world is a euphemism for socialism favoring the rich.

    That said, the public sector in America is too small, except the military part, which is too big.

    Capitalism. Socialism elevates mediocrity and laziness.
