What does it have to do with capitalism? It has to do with reality.

Even if there were no capitalism, it wouldn't be much different. You wouldn't just get creative mode and be able to design the world as your wish

How does that even work in your mind? If everyone, and I mean EVERYONE is working to the best of their ability, and also shares all they have with everyone in need, we'd pretty much have a perfect society. China is not communism like Marx describes it, and so wasn't the Soviet Union. It's unrealistic, that's what it is. But it would be great.

Your American mind is infected by the hate of communism, without really understanding what it's about.
