51 답변작성자: AStupidThing 9/1/2015 2:22:22 PMPure capitalism is anarchy. The government doesn't have any taxes for building streets, paying police, and maintaining public areas. In total socialism, you don't get to make any choices. You never get to do anything with your life, but you live a decent life. You want a good mix. Countries like Denmark, Canada, and England have a good balance of capitalism and socialism. Basic rights like healthcare, education, law protection, and decent working conditions are granted, but you can still do whatever you want with your life. This is why I'm voting Bernie Sanders.

1 답변Socialism encourages laziness while the working class carries those people on their backs. Capitalism is much more fair.

2 답변The irony is that both systems work. It's all about the people that are trusted to organize and run it. Capitalism in this country is so very broken and has turned on the people. Capitalism in an oligarch country, like ours, is effectively sucking the middle and lower class dry. We are the commodities of this country, we are the product. If the consumerism of Americans ever diminishes and doesn't escalate a little each year, our economy crumbles. This is what unregulated American capitalism has brought us to. So yeah, American capitalism SUCKS BALLS.

3 답변Still trying to find a country who can pull off socialism. Almost all the successful ones people list are trading with negative interest rates. Those governments are charging banks for not giving out loans to people who can't pay them back. This gets passed down to customer, who gets charged for the bank to hold their money. That's socialism to a T. This includes Germany.

8 답변The problem with socialism (like all economics) is that there is corruption. Sadly, that theory has and will never work on a large scale. I could see it working for a town or maybe even a state, but there is far to much corruption to make it work nationwide

1 답변A small number of people own everything and buy politicians to insure the socialization of losses and the privatization of gains. What system do we call that?

6 답변작성자: Eluminary 9/2/2015 7:04:51 AMMost don't know what each is and believe the us is the shining beacon of pure capitalism. Reality the us is a hybrid of capitalism/socialism already. Less so than most of Europe is but we are still hybrid, social security/food stamps/medicare/medicade/education etc are all socialist programs that wouldn't exsist in a pure capitalistic economy. Regulations on business the US government does are also socialist that wouldn't exsist in a pure capitalistic economy. In many ways china is the most capitalistic economy on earth, ironic since its run by the communist party, but they gave up virtually all their social programs and run the country like a corporation. Which leads to horrible pollution and your mines and ports randomly explode due to lack of regulations. Hybrid of the 2 is the best way to go, the us could swing a bit more socialist, and this could increase the fate of the dwindling middle class. We have been going the other way for awhile now.
