capitalism has so many flaws ... for example the power imbalance with very rich people. we use it because we dont have a better system and thats it IMHO.

Do think who is we in this context.

No better system for the rich? Yes.

But you and me are not rich. So how could there be no better system when we can see universal healthcare in countries like Cuba under a blockade and no universal healthcare in the US. Or we can compare home ownership between China and the west.

Additionally capitalism in not one thing. The Nordic countries are capitalist and provide much better quality of life for their citizens than the USA or eastern Europe.

I am simplifying it, because capitalism will eventually always lead to austerity, division and hatered. But hopefully if you start thinking in more nuanced way you can see that too.
