Yeah like capitalism and anti-socialism/anti-communism.

Cue the Keynesianists about to attack me with "reformed capitalism is the single best economic truth." They'll accept a grand narrative without hesitation if it means no bolsheviks, pinkies, and hippies.

Mixed market Capitalism is without a doubt the best system available.

Socialism has been implemented 26 times and failed every single time.

There is no example in history you can point to in which a system other than capitalism has worked in the long term.
