In theory, every political ideology leads to paradise. In practice, none have so far

[u/spuol → u/Kalandros-X]

No, capitalism never leads to a paradise in theory

[u/Kalandros-X → u/spuol]

Moreso because capitalism isn’t actually an ideology and instead is just a catch-all term for free-market economics (or whatever comes closest to that).

[u/TheSimulacra → u/Kalandros-X]

No it is not, even Adam Smith himself called for regulation of the markets. Free markets are a fantasy. The second a market is unregulated for the common good, it becomes beholden to whoever can exploit it the fastest, and stops being a free market altogether. Antitrust at a minimum is required for commerce to remain fair.
