Yes, capitalism has been great, and we can do better.

Capitalism has a flaw, it only does what is profitable.

What is profitable is not one and the same with what is socially necessary or even what is good. They're more like analogous.

Like I said before capitalism is the only economic system that cannot handle more workers. If you produce for profit you cannot produce for needs. In a sense profits vs needs are made of the same stuff but dont look the same. Especially at scale.

Employing as many people as possible wouldnt be a problem if you were working for needs because, simply, more needs would be covered.

Its literally that simple. And when there is a true surplus of workers it would mean less work/more leisure.
