You don't have to outrun the bear. You just have to outrun your camping buddy. That goes for presidents and economic/social systems. Capitalism is by far the most efficient and successful at improving the condition of man. Nothing else coms close.

Again, the Adam Smith quote gets to the point.

And our current system has more in common with fascism than capitalism. When the government tells you the minimum you have to pay people and whom you have to hire based on sex and race, that's textbook Fascism. How's that working out for us?
Probably better than the fascism that has business directing political process unchecked.
