"...problem is in human nature: we always want to be better than someone",exactly its because of that is why capitalism works best, why America is on top financially. It helps enforce our nature at being better, and gaining power due to some type of success, everyone strives for power, to be powerful, its what we are as humans. Socialism is counter-productive to our nature for success, evolution doesn't strive for "being the same", it strives on the being "better" at whatever it is you do, which is why capitalism works best.
