Yes, I think capitalism is the only workable economic model. History certainly has demonstrated that other models do not work. Communism was a total failure. Socialism is only sustainable with exponential population growth. Further people naturally gravitate toward individual property.
If you look at the Kibbutz movement in Israel, all originally started off socialist. People ate in central dinning, shared clothing and raised each others kids. However, as time progressed people naturally gravitated toward individual property and traditional family structures.
My view is that systems that work with human nature instead of attempting to remake human nature are successful and efficient. Allow for ambition with competition and set the rules so that compromise is often required.
I am a Democrat.
