Eh, I think the best system is one with both capitalist and socialist elements.
Capitalism is good to an extent, but it needs to have some degree of control to prevent corporations from becoming the government, as we've seen happen.

I know that reading 'Do you love or despise capitalism' next to 'Patlal' looked at first to be 'Do you love or despise capitalism' next to 'Partial' made me smile.
You are probably right, in that context. Partially.

The problem with Capitalism is that government control of businesses is so limited that it lets a few businesses dominate their industry and then they become able to make the rules for their industry.

What about the ideology of human freedom?
What about the human freedom manifested by use of ideology as a precept?

I don't think human freedom is an ideology. It's a basic right.
Most ideologies take away more freedoms than they grant.

Most ideologies take away more freedoms than they grant.
Most of human history would argue that general freedom is NOT a basic right. Most of human history shows those with the strong ideology tend to impose against general freedom and feel merit for such. Cuz of the ideology.
...Wait, what the fuck is freedom?

Capitalist market based societies like the US are what keep us consuming and program us to be materialistic. How could there be any good in this? We are taught that the fast paced, instant gratification based, and luxurious lifestyles we live are neccesary in fact it is this beahavior is not only dehumanizing it is literally destroying the planet.
Capitalism = Bad
