Capitalism will never go away. It is a natural state of business.
Socialism will always die under its own weight wherever it pops up.
The ‘elites’ of both systems are the ones that profit the most from it.
The capitalist system promotes class movement of your own making.
The socialist system locks you into a class and makes you a prisoner of it.........................
An opposing view, from Robert A. Heinlein:
“Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.”
“This is known as ‘bad luck’.”
- Robert Heinlein
While I often disagree with Heinlein, there is a large element of truth in his observation.
Capitalism harnesses the human desire to get stuff. Unless human nature changes, which was the objective of 'Soviet Man,' capitalism will never go away.
Socialism will always die under its own weight wherever it pops up.
Socialism flows from the temptation to live off the labor of others. Unless human nature changes, socialism will never go away.
Right on!
