To me, the first of the two sentences you have written sounds more natural.

I read "for me" as in terms of my personal philosophy.

I read "to me" as my objective intellectual understanding of it.

Of course this is not set in stone. People use each of them in both ways.

By the way, I'd put a comma after "Capitalism" and after "others."
