Keep following the train of thought. If a good system requires well meaning, educated, active members to keep it going, then a good system is one that produces those people.

That is naturally the case. I'm mostly arguing against the idea that the current system is bad because "your rights can be taken away". Capitalism is bad because its sole purpose (as in "The purpose of a system is what it does") is redistribution of wealth and power from the poor to the rich, or from working class to owning class if you will.
