I would say the same aspect of human nature that prevents pure socialism from working effectively also prevents pure capitalism from working effectively. The difference between the two is that capitalism attempts to embrace the flaw in human nature and socialism attempts to remedy it.
America is a form of socialism.

thank you for finally stating what is brutally obvious to the rest of us--the same reasons people so often point to as reasons communism will fail should equally apply in capitalism.
If people are lazy and greedy, it stands to reason that some external force must hinder them in their persuit of personal gain at the expense of society.
