The problem with comparing capitalism with socialism is that one is not comparing apples to apples.

Socialism is a system of controlling all or most human activity. Economic activity (the exchange of goods and services) is only a part of that system.

Capitalism (or free market economics) IS NOT a system of controlling human activity. It is simply a means by which goods and services change hands.

The appropriate comparison in discussing socialism would be to compare a CONTROLLED HUMAN ENVIRONMENT (socialism) to a FREE HUMAN ENVIRONMENT. Capitalism/free market economics is but a small part of the Free Human Environment.
