    There is no EITHER socialism or capitalism. They go hand in hand. Never has either existed in any nation without the other. Everybody's confusing socialism with communism and Marxism while they are utterly different.

    The only way for capitalism to continue benefiting society is through socialism. Socialism means curtailing the abuses allowed by unfettered capitalism. Such as for example, the "legal person" status of corporations: it is an abomination. Corporations can't go to jail, they just pay fines, which is incentive for profitable anti-social behavior. Revoke the legal person status of corporations and suddenly the managers are PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE for what their corporations do. Whole different ball game.

    Then make laws that prevent corporations from underpaying employees. And so on. But those would be in the interest of SOCIETY (from which the name "socialism" is derived) and has nothing to do with communism and or Marixsm.

    It's like everybody's talking about this stuff with half their words missing.

      In Marxist Socialism, society doesn't own property, the state does. The state creates a false narrative of "collective owning property" and doesn't define who or what the so called "collective" is. That is why in nearly every Marxist state, "collective" ends up being the (((government))) and the people end up suffering while the goverment agents become fatter.

      There is no Marxist socialism. It's communism. Only Marx himself described his horrors as "a natural evolution of socialism" when in fact it is diametrically opposite. But socialism used to mean something elevated and respectable back then. So here comes Marx and pushes the idea that his horrors are the extension of these elevated and respectable ideas. Fast forward 90 years, and all of a sudden "socialism" is a dirty word.

      This exactly, jews ruin everything they touch, but I disagree with one of your points. I hate Marx and marxists, but I have read "Capital A Critique of Political Economy" and in the book, the bearded jew describes "communism" as a "way to achieve marxism". So technically, you are incorrect, as, in the words of the bearded jew, Communism is a way to achieve Marxism, but realistically, you are correct, because most marxist countries end up being Marxist-Leninist or "Communist".
