Most evolved society blends capitalism & socialism, honoring both individual freedom & care for the common good. Few countries (including ours: police and fire dept are essentially socialist) all one or the other. The market good at some things, public investment better at others

And if blended well capitalism - private ownership - with socialism - funding to benefit us all - can help us live more secure, safe, and prosperous lives. If people are allowed to hoard only for themselves though then everyone suffers, including the v rich. Friends don't hoard.

Well, the most evolved that we can have today. There are much better ones available to the future.

You are confusing freedom and capitalism. Who among us is free in the workplace?

Marianne, watch out. People are going to think you and, possibly, Bernie are reasonable.

YES! THIS! There is a clear dialectic here that i wish more people understood. The false choice paradigm of all capitalism or all socialism needs to end

Not all capitalism does that. It is as unbalanced to demonize all capitalism as it is unbalanced to demonize all socialism. We have become way too sloppy with this conversation.
