Why do so many defend capitalism?

What other alternatives do we have? We have some experience with communism and, eh, that didn’t go well either. Not defending capitalism here, just saying that the alternative need to work. Really work. Not just in theory.

Do we? Isn’t it mostly state capitalism and dictatorship, which has been falsely labeled as communism? Not to mention American/western intervention to destabilise any remotely socialist/communist attempt, and constant fear mongering anti-communist propaganda. Also capitalism doesn’t really work itself, riddled with internal contradictions and frequent economic crashes. If interested watch e.g. some LiterateMachine: redirect.invidious.io/watch?v=QaDtAOWgKdQ from 4:18

The main question was, what other alternatives do we have. Based on your comment, sounds like there are no reputable alternatives. I couldn’t name one either.
