"Socialism and communism are even worse!!!" is not really a defense of shitty capitalism.

It implies widespread misery is a necessary part of a functioning society.

It also shows a complete lack of understanding of the differences between socialism as economic theory, and communism as a structure of governance.

Democracy and socialism are highly compatible, but it can be difficult to maintain that balance against the corrupting influence of capitalism and wealth. Also, I am not a communist and I would not want to live in a communist state - but that doesn't mean I can give capitalism a free pass. Capitalism and markets need to be regulated if only to prevent monopolies and oligopolies, but also to prevent the corrupting influence of wealth on governance.
