No "WE" being the individual in the current collective of humanity.
Our quality of life, the experience you and we all are having now as opposed to 500 years ago.
Its really absurd to contribute every human advancement in the last 500 years to capitalism. Are you sure they would have never happened without capitalism? Could they not happen in a communist world? Were most of the biggest advancements a product of private or public sector? Did the soviet union not contribute to those advancements? Science is unique to capitalism?
Capitalism has created this---in fact not theory.
It has been a bottom up creation of opportunity for the individual human being.
Bezos didn't start out as a billionaire--- he sold books out of his garage.

Its complete capitalist dogma. Bezos didn't become a billionaire by selling books out of his garage...Those would have been some expensive books...It is not possible to become a billionaire from your own labor.
Socialism doesn't work because of human nature, maybe in small scale ventures, for a time, until: two legs good four legs baaaaa'aad.
Even if we adopted socialism world wide tomorrow, people might feel better for a couple generations and then?
If we're going to fantasize about a utopian society, why not aim for the Star Trek model?
No one is ever scrambling for change for a cup of coffee or worried about whether to pay for their electricity or food.
We are aiming for the star trek model. Thats communism. Socialism is what gets us there.
