Thanks for the reply. Carnegie surely wasn't wrong. But Communists wouldn't even allow him to use his talent and amass a fortune, even is he would give it away at the end. That's the tragedy.
Personally, I'm not the biggest fan of capitalism as well. But what choice do we have? All collectivism always ends in misery for everyone. With freedom and capitalism on the other hand, you and everyone else can adapt.
And one more thing: If I had to chose between freedom and democracy, I would always chose freedom. Because in a democracy, it can happen that you are on the minority side your whole life. With freedom on the other hand, you are the one who decides for yourself. That's why I think democracy is important, but freedom is essential.
