Capitalism was before FDR's New Deal and Lyndon B Johson's Great Society. What came after is socialism.

Cold war was fought not between capitalism and socialism, but between western socialism, that calls itself liberal democracy and eastern technocracy that called itself socialism. Socialism, called liberal democracy, won.

There sure is a lot of irony in that.
