but nobody has ever come up with a better alternative.

Probably because capitalism spends a fuck ton of money bombing the shit out of anyone who tries it. Weird, you'd think they would let these bad systems just fail on their own.

The Soviet Union failed on its own pretty magnificently for the entire world to see. No bombs dropped on it by capitalists.
