Capitalism does a poor job making capitalists. I think of socialism as capitalism for everyone, not just the top 1%. If everyone was secure enough, with food and shelter and healthcare, then everyone can pursue their passions, build companies, etc.

All you have to do is look at women, they know a man will provide for them at some stage so they don't build companies, instead they pursue stuff they enjoy where you mainly have to talk to people rather than do any deep or hard work, even when they got the talent to do it.

- mempko 6y agoI believe Lenin called the USSR "state capitalism".
