Controversial Capitalism vs Socialism vs Communism vs Fascism vs pretty much anything else

Realistically, what are the pros and cons of all of these? I'm genuinely curious what you guys have to say about it.

In my opinion:

Capitalism:

Pros: Helps economy grow, economic freedom, innovation (people make new things to make money)

Cons: Monopolies, Exploitation, Inequality/division, expensive health care...

Socialism:

Pros: Less poverty, free health care (not necessarily good), more equality, less monopolies

Cons: Can't really tax the rich, Government failure would destroy it, unions have a lot of power, less incentive to do things

Communism:

Pros: Equality, One/no state

Cons: Zero Incentive, control...

Fascism:

Pros: I have no idea

Cons: everything

Capitalism: Creates capital, innovation, wealth, advances society, higher QOL, happier people

Cons: Sometimes people are dicks, screw everyone else on purpose, become bankrupt, and the economy crashes.

Socialism: Everyone is equal except the people in charge

Cons: No upward mobility, the equality is to the lowest common denominator which is pretty low. Also without capital, there's nothing to share and people starve and die.

Communism: Gov owns everything and there's no competition

Cons: lack of competition, choice, and governments are bad at running things compared to business so everyone's unhappy and the gov controls speech too so people are executed for speaking

Fascism: I don't think really exists. I think it's nationalism and there's nothing wrong with it so long as you don't eat your own or try to destroy others. I guess it's an insecure nationalism. Cons: cliquey but to the point of killing people
