Free Market Capitalism is Overall a Better System Than Socialism.

To begin with I will argue your opening couple of sentences. You claim that the biggest flaw of free market capitalism is that it causes "Economic disparity and facilities exploitation". I will start with economic disparity which when i searched for the definition directed me towards unequal distribution of wealth. In my opinion wealth should not be distributed equally, people should have to work for the money they earn. Everyone would have equal oppurtunities to start a business and if their business idea was good and there was demand for it they would earn money. Money is a reward, not a right. The fact is someone that goes to med school for several years then comes out and becomes a brain surgeon deserves to earn more money than someone that does a simple job that doesn't require much training. So maybe free market capitalism does cause unequal distribution of wealth but wealth shouldn't be distributed equally, some services are worth more than others. As for facillity exploitation, i can't say that I know what this means, i've searched for a definition but if you would explain in your debate that would be appreciated You go on to talk about how in capitalism people don't make cars to protect the environment, they do it to turn a profit. This is true, to an extent, companies need consumers to buy their product so they do lots of research, tests, questionnaires etc. to find out what the consumer wants. As the crisis of global warming gets more and more evident the demand for electric cars will increase, the market will respond to this increase in demand by building and selling more electric cars. Also there are lots of entreupeneurs out there that create their company to be efficient because of their personal care for the environment. Business owners are not just soulless, evil drones with no respect for anything/else but themselves. ideamensch.com/26-green-entrepreneurs/ Another wonderful thing about the free market is that YOU the consumer have all the power. Here's what would happen in your Shell example in a free market: An independant journalist or a journalism company would hear about this from someone (because its hard to keep this kind of thing a secret) then this journalist would go out to Nigeria, take photos, write about what they saw. Then they would return to their country, sell their photos and writing to a news station who would then expose this disgraceful act. After this, the wonderful thing that is consumer choice would come in, when making a decision about whether you buy anything oil related you would most probably avoid shell, and go for oil from a different company, the same applies to your nestle example. Consumers solve all the problems. For these companies the threat of their products being avoided because of their exposed poor treatment of human rights would probably be enough to deter them from commiting these crimes. As stated before, my dispute with taxes is partially a moral one, why should I have to give a portion of my income to the government? In a free market capitalist economy taxes would be abolished. I would pay for the services I need such as MY healthcare, MY childrens schooling, My security. If I don't have kids why should i be forced to pay for someone else's school fees? The money I have is earned through me offering my services to an employer, if I think I am earning enough money I may wish too give to a chharity that pays for children to go to school whose parents can't afford it. I shouldn't be forced to do ANYTHING with the money i have earned. My next argument will be one about innovation. One fact you cannot argue with is that people like money. Ina capitalist society innovation is rewarded, entreupeneurs have to come up with new ideas that the public like to be able to sell them. For example if someone decided to make a razor blade that was the same as the current leading razor blade commpany, they wouldn't sell well, however if they discovered a new way of making shaving easier and more comfortable than the leading brands they would sell much more. Capitalism encourages innovation.
