    we don’t need to remove capitalism, instead we can restrain it from harming people

    That’s what we’ve been telling ourselves for almost 200 years, and yet we are as we are…

        Do you want a house to live on (Personal Property) or a house for which you charge rent (Private Property)?

        actually good things have happened in the last 200 years too.

        Many of those good things were “in spite of”, not “because of” the system.

          Both depending on my situation. If I want to live in an area for most of my life, I would want to buy a home. If I plan to stay there only for a few months renting makes more sense

          Also you call them personal and private property as if those are radically different, they are both owned by a non-govt entity.

          Many of those good things were “in spite of”, not “because of” the system

          You can just group all the good things as stuff done by actors outside of ‘the system’ in your head and believe this to be true. I wont even try to refute this because its all subjective.
