Capitalism isn't 100%, but Communism and Socialism are definitely worse

Pure capitalism would be as bad as pure socialism. Fortunately we don't have pure capitalism, we have capitalism with a hint of socialism. The pendulum has been swinging too far away from the ideal mix, however.
We recently opened our office in HK and if you speak to every single local HK'er they will tell you how free trade and minimum taxes shaped the country and also shaped their thoughts, but i also asked them, what about the growing divide between the rich and the poor. Now HK government has taken drastic steps to address these concerns recently. I would argue that the government can afford to introduce social welfare programmes which benefit the have-nots, thanks to the huge amounts of wealth generated by free trade. Usually, countries which benefit from lucrative global trade can provide the highest-quality social safety nets to their citizens. I would not call this socialism though, US is much more protectionist and socialist than it looks on paper. They are flaws in the unregulated systems, no system in the world is perfect but pure capitalism is bad as pure socialism is totally unfair statement. Pure socialism is *****. Theres been zero evidence of pure socialism working anywhere in the world other than the fantasy minds of people like Bernie Sanders.

We need 100% capitalism and the jailing of anyone questioning it's validity.
Socialism/communism are advocated by idiots and dole bludgers.

Re rich vs poor... More work=rich, if you want handouts * off.
The capitalists are filling our world with orbital influence, used to manipulate us. We are nothing more than sheep under their command and it is ruining us both individually and as a society. We need to be more mindful of the effect these orbs are having and seek to quell their influence if humanity is to prosper instead of being slaves to a 'lucky' few.

The orb conjurers must be defeated, before the orbs enslave all of us.

Agree 100%. The orbital system needs to be destroyed by any means necessary. The elite are ruining everything for everyone with their orb conjuring. The orbs and their influence needs to be neutered!

sportsmaniac89 and Pie in the Sky are maybe the best to answer this question, but I don't think so though.
