Again, all things are only "made up" until put into practice. You can't ask for a better idea, then balk at it, saying "it's just an idea". Is your position really to never try anything new?

Is your position really to put words in my mouth? If you rephrase it, I'll answer.

Do you object to trying ideas simply because they are ideas? Understand that this thinking is anti-progress. We can't reject everything that's "made up", otherwise nothing will ever become real. Planes were "made up" until someone actually made planes that worked. Imagine if someone just said, "you can't make a flying machine. Flying machines don't exist!"

No, I don't, I'm just saying that it's unfair to compare the actual capitalism with (for example) the textbook communism.

I'm comparing textbook capitalism with textboox communism. It is built into the very system of capitalism.
