Capitalism is a failed ideology that makes human life worthless, healthcare proves

You start by saying that there are many problems with a totally free market economy. But what must be understood is that most of these problems would not be present in a true capitalist system. By allowing each individual to work for his or her own self-interest, production is increased. The problems with larger corporations is that they do not truly adhere to capitalistic principles. When corporations sell products for less than cost or very low profits simply to eliminate smaller businesses, they are not acting under the rules of capitalism. Free enterprise indicates that everyone is free to move up if they work hard enough. By denying smaller businesses this liberty, the larger corporations are going against capitalism. Similarly, exploitation of workers prevents those same workers from moving up. So once again, this is not capitalism. You state "A true communist country would not fail in the way that capitalism has failed." And when you give examples of the U.S.S.R. and China, you use quotation marks around the word "communism." But the same thing can be done when speaking of capitalism. In any type of economic policy, the realistic implementation of that policy will differ from its ideals. Furthermore, a communist country is probably bound to fail even in its truest sense. People need incentive to be productive. If someone's work product does not affect salary, promotion or anything similar, then mass social loafing is bound to occur. The people will not bother to work hard for zero reward. You may think that good will and helping out one's fellow man may be enough incentive. But even if this is initially the case, how long can that possibly last? There will undoubtedly come a point where enough is enough and people get sick of working simply to help out others. So production in a true communist country will be just as lousy as the production was in other "communist" countries. You say that capitalism has no incentive to honor the inherent value of human life. But this is not true. Capitalism gives everyone an incentive to do the best that they can and to do well for their own lives. What better way to value human life than by giving all of those lives an incentive to distinguish themselves by living up to their full potential? In your examples you mention Sub-Saharan Africa and China. There is no doubt that things are very bad right now in Sub-Saharan Africa. But look at the things you mention: European powers stealing resources, keeping people at the bare minimum of health needed for work, exploitation of people. This is not capitalism at all. If others label it as such, it is they who are wrong. Adam Smith would never condone such behavior. China is an example that confuses me. It seems to be doing extremely well right now. Capitalism became the economic policy and since that time China has been doing well both in production and in the lives of its citizens. Capitalism does not cheapen human life as you claim. A policy such as communism that makes everyone equal is what really cheapens human life. People need the incentive to do the best that they can. This is how progress is achieved. Any other alternatives cannot give such incentive for production.
