Of course its fair to compare the two, by comparing attempts to implement them. In fact, we'll never be able to compare them empirically any other way.

If its harder to get one right, then its riskier to try it at all. There is much to learn from the history of attempts to convert.

As far as I understand nobody has ever tried to do both right.

"capitalism, but with a few fixes" was always the intention.

That's all we'll ever by able to try. Cruel practicality gets in the way every time. That's the point I was trying to make.
