This was proven back in the 20's

The market won't decide anything because competition will be pushed out using shady deals and tactics to maintain monopolies.

This is still happening today just under a different veil

I don't know, it seems to be working just fine for me. Did you try unplugging your capitalism and plugging it back in?

Back in the 20s? You mean before we went to the moon, sent robots to mars, split the atom, found a way to see inside subatomic particles, looked back towards the beginning of the universe, and created the internet?

And none of these things prove capitalism works because they were also done despite capitalism

They were done on the backs of capitalism, not in spite of it.

A government needs sufficient revenue to fund those industries.

And the revenue they used to fund these industries are socialist programs. These programs were also developed after anti trust laws were created.

Theres a monopoly on glasses and healthcare. Perscription Glasses are inexpensive to make, but are sold at 700% of the production/labor price. Also hearing aids are cheap to make but really expensive.

Socialist programs don't generate revenue. They consume revenue.

"And the revenue they used to fund these industries are socialist programs."

Maybe English is like your third or fourth language, but the words you actually typed state that the revenue itself is from socialist programs. That's literally how you structured your sentence. Maybe you meant to say something like "and the revenue they used went towards funding socialist programs", but that's not what you typed, and I'm not going to take shade from someone who can't structure basic sentences.

And IF that's what you actually meant to say, my previous point still stands, which is that capitalism provided the money to allow things like NASA to exist, so you still need capitalism to make those programs happen, and companies like SpaceX are proving those programs don't have to be government run at all.

Funny how you say that considering every communist nation failed with decades yet all capitalist societies are still going strong.

Maybe the communist ones just needed more peasants to murder?

It has raised more people out of poverty than any other system in history. It has also given black people much more opportunity to reverse generational poverty and has provided them more ways to pursue those opportunities.

What a complete failure.

My understanding we had not gotten true capitalism for many decades, it is more like Corporatism.

It's been argued that True Capitalism has it's issues as well though.
