You know what else exists in the west? Starvation, homelessness and medical debt. The freedom to profit from food, shelter and healthcare means that you are forced into laboring, usually for the benefit and profit of wealthy private individuals, who pay you for less than your work is actually worth, because otherwise you die. Is that freedom?

Feel free to try to improve the problems you see, but the track record for either autocracies or anarchists doing better is so far Zilch. The USA, which is actually a pretty horrible country on many issues, has one of the best records for making sure everyone has food out of human history. The closest thing they’ve ever had to a famine was the dustbowl. I think healthcare should be socialized as it is in many European Nations. Clearly there are many examples of governments in general and very much so Capitalism addressing all your worries.
