True... but we've never had absolute capitalism. Just like we've never had absolute communism. Absolute socialism. Absolute monarchy. etc.

What we have is imperfect capitalism vs imperfect communism vs imperfect socialism vs ...

The reality is that imperfect capitalism, despite its flaws, is better than the alternatives, despite the attempt to ignore their flaws.

Because that's the only way you can argue socialism is better... is arguing the idea of socialism vs the reality of capitalism.

We can discuss the "line" that gets drawn but when that line crosses from one system to the other? We can absolutely judge Capitalism vs Socialism vs Communism.
