How to win an argument about a Republic?
So basically I was given a Republic. I have to be prepared to counter: Capitalism, Socialism, Democracy, Communism, Monarchy, and Fascism. Everyone in class got assigned a different topic to use against each other. We are going to have a debate in class (basically a 1v1 fight) and whoever wins the "battle" gets a higher grade and moves on the ladder to compete with the next student. Something like a tournament. If anyone would be able to help me with this it would be much appreciated.

The assignment makes no sense. See below.
Explanation:
Capitalism and socialism are economic systems
Republic, Democracy, and Monarchy are political systems.
They are not mutually exclusive; you can mix and match them. For instance, you can have a capitalist monarchy (Great Britain, for example), a capitalist republic (the United States), a socialist monarchy, a socialist democracy, etc., etc.
Arguing Repubic vs. Capitalism makes no sense, as they are apples and oranges.
Communism and Fascism are the only political AND economic systems in the list. Everything else is only partial.
