Capitalism Does Not Exist

There’s a fight I hear more and more these days. “Capitalism is evil, and only Socialism can save us” versus “Socialism is evil, and only Capitalism can save us.” Both Capitalism and Socialism however are ideological systems and do not reflect reality, which is always far more complex than theory.
