Capitalism is much better than socialism/communism

Socialism and communism, in my view, is evil, and we as a society should be moving away from people with this viewpoint, such as Bernie Sanders, because their goal is to implement restrictions over our capitalist economy so that they can exert governmental control and tyranny over the people. There are a few points to be made here: 1.) Communism/socialism discourages innovations and creativity. For example, because major tech companies such as Apple or Google have a financial interest in creating new technologies, they will constantly strive to have financial investments in these new technologies. As a result, these companies are constantly creating these new technologies, which help us grow our economy and grow as a nation. It is obvious that capitalist countries are almost always richer than communist countries because capitalist countries allow such innovations and creativity to flourish. 2.) Because businessmen have a financial interest to keep costs low and give nice products, they will always find the most efficient ways to complete a task. This allows us to keep the prices low, while at the same time making sure that the products are still high quality. 3.) Capitalism allows what is arguably the most important human right: the pursuit of happiness. With capitalism, the individual is able to be in control of their own destiny, and is therefore free to pursue happiness however they wish. If you want to make bad economic decisions, then you can go ahead and make bad economic decisions, and if you want to make good economic decisions, you can go ahead and make good economic decisions. The government is not going to go and stop you from making good or bad decisions. You yourself have to be able to make your own decisions in life, and capitalism allows the individual to do just that without having the individual to be forced into doing anything. The individual has complete control over their own life. 4.) Capitalism allows the individual to choose what products they would like to buy. For example, because the shoe industry is completely privatized, if someone wants to buy a Nike, they can buy a Nike, and if someone likes the Adidas better, they can buy Adidas. The individual has completely control over what products they would like to have. In return, all the companies involved in that industry will have to compete with one another over customers, meaning that the quality of the product will be much greater and the prices will be lowered. 5.) Competition is essential to have the best performance out of anyone. If a person goes out on a walk by himself, he is likely to not run nearly as fast than if he decides to train for a race where he must compete with other people to see who can run the fastest. This happens because when you are in a competition, you have a psychological desire to be better than other people, forcing you to do your best performance. Likewise, in a capitalist economy, competition is essential to make sure that businesses have the best performance. Having too many government restrictions, which is what a communist/socialist government implies, can degrade the competitiveness of the businesses in an economy. The role of the government is to insure that there is fair competition between people in an economy, and when socialists/communists start to influence that competition, the quality of products starts to decrease. 6.) Communism and socialism will inevitably lead to tyranny over the people. China is a great example of this. People in the Republic of China are constantly having to deal with numerous human rights violations (Chinese Muslims, for example, must be sent to drink alcohol and eat pork against their will in Chinese re-education camps). Because a communist government has such power over the economy, they can do whatever they want to the people. 7.) Pure communism can never really exist. Even in communist governments, people still have an innate desire to be in control of their own lives, and will create illegal economies, such as the black market. With capitalism, on the other hand, the people's innate desire to be in control of their own lives is honored, and people are less inclined to buy goods illegally.
