The issue isn’t capitalism vs socialism, so much is conscience and ethics versus soulless sociopathy. Without a change in consciousness either one becomes corrupt.

I wish more people would hammer on the fact that "short term capitalism" doesn't even make sense on a pure profit level. Good long term investments always yield more profit.

I've always loved this video ... Capitalism ... like anything else ... can be used to harm people ... or ... to help people ... it's the ... conscience ... and the ... consciousness ... of people in charge ... that makes the difference!
Replying to @marwilliamson
Sorry but that's a vacuous argument typical of New Age thinking. Appealing to love, interconnectedness and humanity will not lift us all above issues of inequality and environmental crisis on the ground that capitalism offers no answers for.

Isn't it interesting that those fear mongering on big bad socialism oddly never rail against authoritarianism and fascism - the very elements of "socialist" governments that impose misery?
Replying to @marwilliamson
Sure but socialism fails because there is no price mechanism. Regardless of good, evil, consciousness.
Replying to @marwilliamson
Right. Either one of these thrive or die by moral consciousness. It's not so much about the system but about the people who are in charge and whether they can handle the power that's been handed to them. Most of us can't..
