You are carefully trying to stay vague and are avoiding to name even a single counter-example. You are just claiming that my examples are wrong. This is the definition of a "No true Scotsman" fallacy.

Name one non-capitalistic system more moral than the currently existing ones.

All rankings trying to quantify morality and order societies by it, are consistently topped by social market economies, a form of capitalism.

> Waving away all morality in moral nihilism is teenage-level ethical sophistication.

It is also something I have never done. With the edits to your post, its nature became more and more apologetic to dictatorships. I hope this was not what you have intended.

What are you talking about?(!)

It looked more and more like you wanted to say that morals are not an "all or nothing" thing from where it is easy to leap to being apologetic to just a little bit of (systematic) wrongdoing. But judging from your reaction, this is not what you were trying to set up.
