My open challenge: Prove to me socialism or communism is collapsing the United States

I haven’t heard a rational, coherent argument from a Capitalist lately.

Usually its:

A: Well some boomer immigrant from the 1960’s became a citizen and worked hard and started their own successful business, therefore Capitalism = good and more social mobility for poor people.

B: America is not as bad as third world countries, and has more freedom than Europe, therefore Capitalism = Good.

C: Free trade is good, therefore capitalism is good (both arguments are very flawed. Firstly, Capitalism is not free-trade, because Capitalism is a monopoly of the rich. 2nd: Should there even be free trade of garbage quality products that are unsafe, such as pot metal that has never been properly forged, or free-trade to false advertise products, or the freedom to form monopolies?)
.
.
This is about the average argument you’ll hear from a right-wing news pundit. Or they will just say “leftist cities are bad, they have fentanyl and multiculturalism” and not acknowledge that fentanyl is a form of capitalism and capitalism very directly needs multiculturalism to maximize profits and cheap labor.

Most arguments for capitalism is pure political propaganda, their arguments always comes back to how a minority of people generate and have the most amount of wealth where everybody else should just be satisfied existing under their presence. No logical or rational arguments whatsoever for it.
