We're going a little off topic here, but I'd argue the other one called "communism" is an ongoing experiment with several countries, and almost all of them I would consider to have failed already. The fact that there are poor and rich in capitalist countries reflects on either the people or the circumstances of the people, not the government or the businesses. Lot's of self-made millionaires were born into poor families. Lots of people born rich are now poor. It goes both ways.
