Where have you seen capitalism work? Or what are your metrics for “it works”? And which states do you consider being failed communist states? And why did they fail in your opinion?
Well, in the US you can easily get into ICE camps if you look like you could be not white enough, if you study medicine you’ll start your life with hundreds of thousands in student debt (that you won’t get rid of, even with a bankruptcy), and I’d argue that the current US administration is as corrupt (or worse), so I am not sure what you’d be looking for in a Country to consider it better or as good as a capitalist country?

Ok. and surely there’s nobody that could say the same about communism?

If you look at countries like Cuba, I’d argue that it’s working pretty well considering the circumstances.
Cuba has the highest ratio of doctors per 10k capita (95), their life expectancy was constantly rising until covid happened.
The biggest issue they have is being isolated by the USA, which also enforce that isolation across the northern hemisphere.

it’s worked effectively in small socially isolated religious communities with rigid social codes. Amish, Kibbitz, etc.
Ah, but all those states aren’t TRUE capitalist states. That’s why we can’t point to a successful example.
That’s funny, because Capitalism doesn’t even work when you try to make it less agressive by implementing rail guards.
But sure, looking at states like the USA makes me believe that Capitalism is doing good!
