There is a problem: In socialism, if you have power, you can print money In capitalism, if you have money, you can get power and then you can print money Given enough time, both systems evolve into something that cannot be easily distinguished. There are always going to be groups of people destined to be exploited through the similar mechanisms. People who are attracted to capitalism believe that it is a system of equal chances, that they can participate in the economy and achieve success with their own hard work. People who are attracted to socialism believe that the system is preventing them from having a chance due to their background that is outside of their control and they believe the state should intervene and help them participate and achieve success. These two ways of thinking are ripe to be exploited by politicians, divide et impera. Politicians from both sides rather than trying to meet somewhere in the middle, they rather enforce the differences. Like "capitalist" will say "lazy" people shouldn't eat, and "socialist" will say the "Bourgeoisie" is not paying their fair share. It is also interesting that the politicians who are for capitalism tend to be against social freedoms like gay marriage, abortions and politicians who are for socialism, tend to favour strict regulation of economy, but afford wide social freedoms. As if they have created this these sort of red lines to further the divide of the society. For instance, if you want to run your own business your option is to vote for a party that won't get in your way, but you'll have to consider you'll have to mess up with your friends who are same sex and want to get married. There seems to be no party that would be good for small and medium business and at the same time acknowledge the needs of modern society. Or am I missing something? I understand that my comparison is a bit crude, but it's something that fascinates me. This is happening in many countries, this style of politics.
