There is a very large faction in this country that believe capitalism is inherently evil and exploitative.

However, it's impossible for a logical person to deny that the vast, vast majority of advancements have come from capitalist societies. This is not a coincidence.
Please define "large faction".
Exactly what percentage of the population are you claiming want to completely do away with capitalism and go to a pure socialist economy where the government owns and controls all the means of production? And what is your source for your opinion.
From what I see almost everyone wants to keep a capitalist economy with expanded social programs. But the rigth-wing media refers to a capitalist economy with expanded social programs as "socialism" just to scare the rubes.
