To miss quote Churchill capitalism is the worst economic system, except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.
IMO people in this country don't live in a capitalist system anyway, so that's the wrong starting point. Second, from what I can see most of the problems that stem from what people perceive as the 'Capitalist System' are actually a result of corruption, and people being wholly unrealistic and selfish. Thirdly, if you look at a country like Germany*, you can visibly see what a difference having a free market economy can make to a population's living standards.
*yes I do realise there are a load of counters to that, but I still like it as an example.
