Capitalism is the best system we have right now

Citation needed. Also, curious how capitalist countries are always so eager to stomp down any attempt at trying a different system, almost as if the rich really don't want you to even believe a different system is possible 🤔

and it pays for a lot of social programs

It doesn't pay, it steals. Social programs under capitalism are possible only by exploiting the global south.

Cool, but then you’re just a naive utopia dreamer.

Not wanting to be robbed by bosses and landlords is utopia, now? And you talk about it as if it was some theory that was never tried. Libertarian socialism already exists.

can it be better sure but acting like communism is better is just flat out stupid.

Because..........? Can you even define what you mean with 'communism', or is it just some nebulous threat you got programmed to be afraid of? Not all socialists are Stalinists, which is what you seem to be implying...
