“Capitalism is the best economic system that we have had so far”

This is my (basic) understanding of capitalism. I’m no economist, but it seems to me that if we had a government that wasn’t owned by corporations, but that instead looked out for the rights and protections of the little guy while the economically elite did their thing, we wouldn’t have a perfect system but at least a better system than we do currently. I think a lot of people balk at socialist / communist ideas because of the idea of putting the economic power of redistributing wealth into the hands of corrupt government officials seems like an easy way to drive the wealth gap even bigger than it already is. Or maybe I’m just talking out of my ass lol

Nope. It doesn’t matter how well your government is, the rich will get richer and the poor will get poorer. Then the rich will eventually buy the government to even further increase their profits.
