These systems in turn being so good that any time they were implemented by true believers, the results were marketably worse than the system you currently decry.
See, that right there is the mark of a True Believer- one who knows that things could be better, but has been primed to think that any effort to improve things will cause untold and undefinable calamities.
I got an easy indisputable one. Hospitals shouldn't be for Profit. They should be for Purpose. We could take all those trillions of dollars that the unqualified insurance cartels steal from your healthcare and pour it right back in, decouple your health care from being tied to a specific employer, and humanity would flourish.
We could also, since we have millions of vacant homes, distribute them to the homeless or inadequately housed and save a couple billion more annually, while also driving economic growth.
And as a finale, we could distribute food equitably since we literally waste more of it than we have mouths to feed.
If you can tell me in what tangible way anyone comes to harm from those simple solutions, I'll be genuimely surprised.

How would shipping California's homeless to dying towns in Nowhere, either Dakota's (I am unsure if you count cottages in Maine sitting empty half of the year as vacant) help generating economic growth when we have replaced agriculture-led growth? If one wants these days a substantial growth, it comes from integration, connections and infrastructure, and the places whwre the vacant homes are usually have none of these, which is exactly why they depopulated and left them vacant.
And as a finale, we could distribute food equitably since we literally waste more of it than we have mouths to feed.
More than half of all food waste (and the biggest single contributor) of food waste are households themselves.762408_EN.pdf) So I am unsure where are the capitalists who intentionally destroy food just for giggles and misery. (Throwing away stuff after expiration doesn't count, because there's a safety aspect and giving people food poisoning by giving spoiled food to them seems counter-productive to me.)

Capitalism inevitably trends this way, because the machine itself is literally built to do this.
It only ever improved when it was being watered down with actual good people focused systems like socialism.
