Capitalism and socialism are a pendulum, acting as a response to each other and the exploitation of the flaws in the system. The real enemy is authoritarianism which defends whichever system is in power at the time.

Well the options aren't just capitalism and socialism. There's also worse capitalism. So a normal capitalist system that protects itself does not just prevent socialism, it also prevents worse capitalism.

An example of a system that turned to worse capitalism is Nazi Germany. That's why today, Germany prevents system change, so as to not again change from normal capitalism to worse capitalism.

*tries to prevent system change. It's not going that well, IMO.
