I don't see anything wrong in people becoming super rich by exploiting their talents in the free market. That's the opposite of feudalism.

The alternative was tried in Soviet Union and Maoist China. The results were not exactly pretty.

There is no "alternative". Government can be approached from a million different ways. To say it's black or white (capitalism vs communism) is completely self-serving and offers no real insight into the fundamental complexity of human civilization.
