… I mean there are dumber things to say.
The US healthcare system is the best healthcare system ever created
Best for who? Depending on your answer, you are unequivocally right.
If you equate most profitable with best, you may be a capitalist.

Except the money Americans are taxed gets invested in “Healthcare” only for them to receive no benefit from it. We actually get taxed more than some socialist/less capitalist countries.
In terms of technological advances, or maximizing wellness of the maximum people?
People of wealth travel from all over the world for access to the cutting edge techniques and treatments found in US institutions like mayo clinic and John Hopkins.
The problem is the cost and access is very uneven.
Yes, I would say that makes it bad.
Depends. Everything is a shade of gray.
The advances they come from this system spread across the world. Obviously it isn’t the only way advances are made, and it doesn’t justify the exploitation, but the world certainly benefits from American healthcare research. (Again not implying important advances only come from America)
Some days I’m glad that I jumped ship from Reddit, and some days I realize that this is the alternative.

Me irl watching this comment section in flames.
The dumbest man says capitalism is the best possible economic system. This guy is right if he’s referring to global economic systems, because it’s been the only global economic system.
What would another global economic system even look like? Can it even be something else?
That is the real question. Communism is the main competition. We could try something in between like syndicalism, or some other version of socialism. But everything is theory because we’ve never tried a different system.
SOCIAL MARKETS GOOO
As far as I know even Marx said so.
Marxists aren’t, or shouldn’t be, dogmatic. It’s the method that they uphold. Plus, Marx didn’t live to see the USSR, China, Cuba, etc, so it’s not possible to know whether he would maintain that position (taking your claim at face value).
Marx stated, that capitalism is a necessary step in the evolution of economy, and is better than anything before it and worse than communism. So the real question is whether he would have considered the aformentioned countries as ones that achived communism.
