In a purely capitalistic society greed, avarice and the constant grab for power will ignore humanity.

A system which has a free market economy is not necessarily driven by avarice, greed, and the grab for power.

It simply means that people are free to trade their services without undue government regulation.

It isn't a system of commerce that makes people greedy and it isn't government regulation that removes it.

You are somehow suggesting that human greed can eliminated by socialism...and that's just not true.

And what is a capitalistic society anyway? Are you against freedom?

I think you are confused as to what capitalism is.

Again, you are seeing what you want to see. I am NOT saying that. I am saying that both capitalism and socialism must ignore some aspects of human nature in order to thrive. A society based purely on capitalism is just as harmful as one base purely on socialism.

A system which has a free market economy is not necessarily driven by avarice, greed, and the grab for power.

Again, I said in "a purely capitalistic" society not a free market society. YOU keep twisting what I say in your mind to try to defend something I am NOT attacking.
