Capitalism has won big in America, even though everyone owns the roads, sidewalks and parks, and in some sense there's also communism in America. America is a blend of capitalism and communism.
One area where capitalism has won over the people is insurance, and lack of a national insurance. Insurance companies bilk Americans out of health and money.
Another area is gun manufacturers. The gun lobby helps murder with propaganda and lobbying. There are actually a righteous set of people who believe it's worth 70 dead children every year for the right to own guns. That price is not too high.
The educational system is a mess because of disruptions.
Trump is supposed to be responsible for 40% of the Covid deaths by his inaction and callousness.
The political system is corrupted by money. I was taught in high school that expecting more from government is a self fulfilling prophecy, places that expect good government, have better government. Expecting graft and corruption is a self fulfilling prophecy.
I find it amazing that the right hates the left's vision so much they'd rather put a man in charge who is now reported to owe the government $1.7 billion dollars in overcharging the government (twitter). That was a better choice for them. They're rather wreck up the place than let if function well guided by the other pole of political bias. About 60 million people will vote for him in the next election, after all we know. He got 74 in the last one, and 73 in the previous one. The politics of spite and hatred.
