Critics of capitalism associate it with: unfair distribution of wealth and power; a tendency toward market monopoly or oligopoly (and government by oligarchy); imperialism, counter-revolutionary wars and various forms of economic and cultural exploitation; repression of workers and trade unionists; social alienation; economic inequality; unemployment; and economic instability.

Since americans seem to judge everything by how successful it is, capitalism is seen as the only way to do economics. That's why i like china so much. They made communism work. And now they own you all (and hell, probably me too)

I'm not sure if that's what you're saying already, but they only made communism (if it can still be called that) "work" by maintaining their government control in everything that could badmouth the government while letting their economy run away in a "make money in anyway you can" ultra-capitalist style.

I was just about to say that. I am not a fan of unrestrained greed, but some capitalism is not really that bad. In the US, it has run rampart, and is kind of eroding our society.
