A lot of people don't take jobs because they don't need to. Most people could work more if they wanted to.
Most businesses fail.

in the first world maybe. your scope is narrow.
Without capitalism there would often be little hope for the 3rd world. Look at China as an example.
China is revisionist.
The USSR increased the living standards of it's people exponentially. It literally took a nation of illiterate peasants and in one generation sent the first person to space.
I think China used capitalism to become a powerhouse just like the USA did.
I'm not aware of much success in the USSR other than the space program.
Quality of life is better in under socialism.

This paper that I've linked you proves it.
You're unaware because the capitalist class doesn't want you to know.
Yeah in the short term socialism is always better. Venezuela and the USSR had some great times before the collapse. The USA is also doing great right now under most measures but we are heading for collapse.
I think in general democracies lead to more socialism and eventually a collapse.
The USSR collapsed because of market reforms. It's because they abandoned socialism that they collapsed, that's the reality of the situation.
As for socialism being better in the short term, the USSR was around for a long time. Considering the quality of life of the population over profit is a going to make a better life for your population.
Consider pre-soviet ussr, the population was poor and uneducated, despite this they created an industrialized society in about a generation.
I honestly wouldn't say the USA is doing great right now. Do you live in a large city? It's hard to support capitalism when there are homeless children while there are empty houses.
