Well the title doesn't even say "socialism good", it just says "capitalism bad". Which I agree, it certainly has many shitty aspects, such as hypocritical bands profiting hand over fist while pretending to be against it.
What I have yet to see in my decades of life, however, is an economic system that didn't heavily incorporate capitalism, and wasn't poor as fuck. I'd welcome a counterfactual.

Not if you're in government, no. But other than that, yeah you're gonna be poor as dirt historically speaking.

Maybe? But there's also the possibility that human nature is flawed to the point where socialism/etc. will never work. Maybe the effort is best spent trying to reform capitalism so that it improves?
I don't have the answer, just going based on what's known.
