I understand your point on the coffee shop in that you are right. Thats not exactly how capitalism works , if you open a coffee shop and become very profitable then a big company comes in putting out of business forcing you to work for them or close your place. Capitalism is brutal against small businesses. I totally support small business , that's why I believe that people should have more power not corporations.

Free market is a democracy. That's awesome you support small business and if more people were doing the same thing I can guarantee that big corporations wouldn't be a problem.

Another really important factor are regulations. Capitalism right now is way to regulated which makes it really difficult for small businesses to exist. On the other hand big corporations are not regulated enough tho.

We should work on existing system, try to improve it rather than change it to totally different.

Also if you wanted to make a switch to socialism you would have to rob a lot of people from their private property

Your conflicting points on regulation show that you don't actually understand the problems with capitalism.
