I get what this is saying, but it's demonstrably not true. Instead of fighting over the various forms of capitalism just think of this meme in terms of Communism.
Then it becomes the same BS propaganda about communism /socialism failing in Russia and that there is no true communism and it will always fail.
There are, in all things, shades of grey that absolutist thinking like this ignores in favor of activating your lizard brain for dopamine through anger / sex / joy / etc. This shuts down debate and critical thinking in favor of a controlled narrative that leads no where.
I'm not saying Capitalism is worth saving. I'm saying the EU has a damn good version of it that's combined with socialism and good regulations for a result that's arguably a better example of what capitalism can lead to if you're willing to thing about it.
Which this meme encourages you don't.
