Real Socialism is where Sean Penn ,Katy Perry and the rest of us citizens all sit around a fire of natural dead wood and grill veggies. Then we retire to our equal sized huts and awake in the morning and meditate with Sean and Katie before we head off to the fields to cultivate more veggies.

Great post and I agree completely. You articulated it better than I did. This quote from you bears repeating:
By the way, capitalism isn't a system that is created. Capitalism is the default system that naturally comes about when people agree on the right to own property.
The only thing I'd add is that capitalism is the system that is most compatible with the ideals of Freedom. All other systems erode Freedom in favor of collectivist goals, which inevitably leave the people as a whole less prosperous. It's the insidious truth of collectivism in all its forms (Socialism, Communism, Fascism, etc.).
