Do you have hard evidence?

Of what? Communism collapsing because their economies stagnated from a lack of technological innovation? Or their environmental policies?

I just don't get why so many pro-capitalists on CE get so fucking angry about things like universal healthcare and free/affordable college.

There's a difference between opposing any kind of government policy and opposing bad public policy. UHC isn't incompatible with capitalism for example, and some kind of government intervention in healthcare is necessary to address the low price elasticity . But too often policies gain support from voters purely because they sound nice on paper (tax cuts for "job creators", rent control, etc) when in reality they're extremely counterproductive.
