But wow.

Ok socialism defined is a classless system. Since the indenity of the workers and owners are defined by their conflict, freedom requires the removal of the conflict so everyone is equal and free. Then, the owners would become the workers and workers into owners. There would be no need to private ownership since there is no conflict between owners and users of property or assets.

This is a paradox once human nature is applied. Because humans have a natural instinct to raise up people and idolize them (i.e. celberaties and leaders) we would create our own classes out of a classless world and it would no longer be socialism, but some other system of government.

Communism was a party that tried to quickly implement the public ownership of industry and equal rights to production for all suggested by socialism. They used government as a means to control market and industry. Since the people owned the government, the people owned markets and industry by extension.

Capitalism was born when land trusts gave way to private ownership of land. One identifiable factor that has changed is the competition of issolated nation states. Individual nation states were not strongly effected by global factors. Not the same anymore.

Other characteristics of captialism included specialization, where workers would become experts at doing on small job to maximize efficency of the group, and production surplus. Production surplus was another interesting factor that nv happened. The idea was, the.more we would be able to produce is less time, the more man would be free from work and able to pursue happiness. We no have produced more shit than we have people to own that shit. We have more empty homes then homeless, more empty cars on lots then carless drivers, but we r still working more hours to get more shit.

Markets are present in all three systems. Its just a matter of how they r handled that seperates them.

Just because something is a government service does not mean its socialism, and just because there is a cost to a good or service does not mean capitalism.

any system that relies on the better nature of humanity ....ie, communism.....
is doomed to failure from the start.

socialism and capitalism both start with the concept of a ruling elite. capitalism is cold in that "cash is king" but even a bit of coldness still can result in a reasonable outcome. the dangers are when capitalist entities are too short sighted and fixate on profit "right now". at the expense of fellow man.

socialism, is a danger as it splits power between ruling factions yet ignores freedoms, individuals have little power in the blind following of the diktats of the enlightened.

im fine with them. Obviously I prefer capitalism because its the one i was raised in, but as I've gotten older I like idea of socialism alot more. Mainly because it seems like socialist countries actually give a shit about their people. But despite my preferences, objectively all of them are flawed in their own way. Mainly because at the end of the day you cant give people incentive not to abuse their power so there's always going to be people abusing their respective systems and reaping the rewards from it.
