The problem isn't with capitalism but the people that take advantage of it.

You can take advantage of socialism too.

Literally this.

In any system their will be abuse, from hacking in video games to corruption in politics.

The thing is though I'd rather we be corrupt and feeding/housing those who need it rather than be corrupt and not doing those things

So let’s pick a system that doesn’t incentivize corruption. If it’s going to happen, let’s not encourage it.

But what does that look like and how do you establish it without accidentally murdering millions.

The wheels of history are lubricant for the wheels of history, evil shit but true. Whenever we want to move history we need to always consider who is being harmed.

Our system sucks but turning it off will inevitably cause a shock of some degree and that harms people.

Literally a kobayashi maru

What an idiotic argument. So what? Should we stop trying to progress at all as a society because it could hurt people? Removing this exploitive system will help more than it’ll harm. No contest.
