Is this even a discussion?   Socialism is a proven failure.  While capitalism has fueled almost all progress in recent times. I will agree that Pure Capitalism though,  will never work as well.  The cut throat nature of it, harms more than it helps.

I can't think of many instances in which the socialistic way is superior to the capitalistic way.   It's just human nature.  If we were robots?  Socialism would be easily the best method possible of continued success.  The thing is,  we aren't robots.  So Doctors who went and got their PHD for almost a decade feel like they are entitled to just a 'tad' more than the Burger Flipper at McDonalds who was watching cartoons in between bong hits.  Thus we have the inherent problem with Socialism.

The world is not fair.  The human world isn't fair.  The animal world isn't fair. The world just isn't fair.   Socialism relies on this very premise that the world CAN BE fair.   It's illogical from the outset.  If I walk across the street today and some drunk driver is passed out, runs a red light, runs me over and I die.  Is that fair?   Children get born into terrible lives with terrible,abusive parents is that fair?    Of course it isn't fair.   

Capitalism allows for people from all walks of life to better themselves if they want it bad enough.   Socialism tries to keep everyone down.    That is why it's inherently flawed and why Capitalism will ALWAYS be better.
