Hmmm...
ad.1. But what is "capitalism"?
ad.2. The system needs to be constantly revised, improved, repaired and checked against changing reality.
ad.3. Your nation is a part of humanity that is closer to you than other nations. Patriotism is good, chauvinism is bad and the difference should be taught from early age.
ad.4. Nations are a reality.
ad.5. America is a nation that struggles with some problems and not with some other problems.
ad.6. Private property laws need to be weighted against common good. It's practically never all-or-nothing.
ad.7. With modern technology, in developed states, we can afford a system where people don't face death in case they don't work. I find free services a much better approach than free money.
ad.8. Poverty can be eliminated by creating wealth; using substantial part of it for common good; systematically adressing and preventing exploitation; systematically researching and adressing social problems.
Not on the list but important: We don't live in a perfect world so social equality is an ideal unlikely to be reached. Social mobility is an important realistic proxy for it.
Looks like neither of the above... Social democracy?
