I think both were correct as capitalism, as in free markets are good, democracy in terms of meritocracy is good, and socialism in terms of community cohesion is good.
Free markets do not exist and never have done. If you are interested read:

THE IRON FIST BEHIND THE INVISIBLE HAND
Corporate Capitalism As a State-Guaranteed System of Privilege
by Kevin A. Carson

Democracy has never been a meritocracy read Edward Bernays who shows how democracies manufacture consent by using propaganda to determine public opinion, in short the ruling elites rule and they become a oligarchy. Socialism promoted by the central government does not create social cohesion...only individuals living up to their moral and ethical values by voluntarily giving charity or helping the neighbour or the needy creates social cohesion.
