Nobody? Look to be honest there are some lazy people that dont want to work but most of us will be happy to work in a socialist economy where we the workers get compensated fairly. Capitalism and open source dont go hand by hand. People is literally creating all of this amazing products for free!! Workinf for the community thats what socialism is. And also the proprietary software is more "popular" because big companies just take open source and make it proprietary then they said they created just look at Apple and RedHat.

huge part of opensource is funded and developed by capitalistic companies. Take Linux for example.

And imagine if you wanted to open your own coffee shop. Where would you get a place for it? From the state probably. But what if they decide that there is no need for new coffee shop? You would have problem. In capitalism on the other hand you have your free will and as long as you have money you can open your coffee shop anytime anywhere. I know it's not really as easy to make money but if capitalism isn't broken by stupid regulations and other nonsense it really can work, allowing you to take cheap loans and start your own businesses.

I live in a post communist country and trust me I know how shitty socialism is

My problem with Capitalism is the profit over anything. The environment , workers , resources , quality , control over the things you bought. There are so many examples where corporations abuse their power.

That and the cancerous need for infinite growth on a finite planet, which is destroying our home…
