I want to post why free market capitalism is the best.
Socialism, Marxism, National Socialism/Fascism or Communism. They are all authoritarian. That is more power to the government, but to different degrees. Communism/Marxism more so, then socialism is more 'free-er' and then there is Fascism (similar to what we have today in the West).
Libertarians put reliance on the market in distributing goods and services.
Markets when they are not being impinged by government regulation do pretty well, and steps towards deregulating (removing rules and lowering or abolishing taxes/tariffs) markets and economies has improved the quality of life.
So a market isn't necessarily a tangible thing. There is a market for used cars, or biology tutors.
Two forces are at work. Supply and demand.
Demand is desire for a good or service, at a specific price for a given quantity (e.g. $2 for a lb of apples, $15 for an hour of tuition for chemistry).
Supply is the provision of a good or service at a specific price for a given quantity (e.g. example above applies here too).
As a consumer I want the lowest price, and a seller wants the highest price.
So what happens is there is an equilibrium where the price settles based on market conditions.
First thing to understand is that prices reflect economic realities. That is, something expensive obviously takes a lot of effort to process and prepare for sale. Like a diamond.
Also competition plays an important role. In deregulated markets competition is rife and sellers have to compete by working more efficiently. Cutting cost so they can seller cheaper and keep their profit. This efficiency is good for the nation and economy as a whole.
This is why the Soviet Union which had a lot more resources than the West was poor. They were inefficient and didn't have a free market economy. Instead opted for government planning in which instead of letting consumers and sellers negotiate price in accordance to their needs and wants, bureaucrats took it upon themselves to decide where production would go. Since there were many things to be allocated, this lead to overproduction in certain areas, and overproduction. I.e. the Soviet government would increase the demand for animal hides from hunters, but would then have created a surplus and this left them to rot as they weren't needed. A similar thing happened with tractors that would rust as they were left in storage due to overproduction.
You never see people move from free markets to regulated and controlled markets (West and East Germany).
What Capitalism does is remove government as a hindrance to success, and so people can work and thrive.
Also the prosperity allows the wealth to be shared through non-coercive means like charity (the truly biblical form of almsgiving).
The only people who wouldn't survive are the lazy, the stupid and the disabled. The disabled would be taken care of by society. Welfare would be either gone or restricted.
Feminists and cultural Marxists wouldn't be going to university so they could learn to subvert Christian and European values at our expense but would have to do something that is in demand in the economy. Essentially resources would allocate themselves.
Things with a high price tag are obviously in demand and useful.
