Capitalism is good because it promotes democracy, prosperity, liberty, free markets(variety of goods and services) and freedom. Freedom of speech is encouraged. Capitalist societies generally lead to more freedom and unequal distributions of wealth, power and control.


That's not quite true. You can have a prosperous or a poor capitalist state ruled by a one party dictatorship or an absolute monarch. The Gulf States and China like the West abide by their own form of Capitalism but none are democratic. South Korea, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Turkey, Latin America and others all were dictatorships for many decades as capitalists countries.
