The problem with how capitalism has been expressing in America has been the faulty 'creation' of capital... interest bearing debt based currency isn't true currency, it's parasitic, and the flaws in the economy made by it is not a reflection on Capitalism, but on the fed, the central bankers, and the parasitic class. Money is a measurement of value, and a medium of exchange, no more, no less.

My dad once told me a story of a man coming to Canada from a commie country, and being taken to a grocery store by a Capitalist... The Capitalist took him to the aisle where the canned beans were neatly staked on the shelves. He pointed to one can, and said: 'You see these beans? These are very good beans.', then pointed to another brand of beans on the shelf: 'And these beans, they are also very good beans.'. Waving his hands over the entire shelf of beans, he said: 'All of these beans on this shelf are all very good beans, because the competition that Capitalism encourages ensures that everyone selling beans, must sell very good beans, or they won't sell. Capitalism encourages excellence.'.
