Not necessarily. Greedy people can misuse socialism as well as capitalism; a fairytale version of socialism some people are throwing around isn’t that helpful. It’s not so much socialism versus capitalism as it is institutionalized greed versus institutionalized ethical restraint

Whether you want to talk about past failures of communism, socialism, capitalism, feudalism, monarchy, it doesn’t matter because oligarchy is at the core of every corrupted system

You sound confused

Institutionalized ethical restraint (the social democratic model) still jeopardizes the lives of the international proletariat and the global south. Third world exploitation will continue under capitalism - in all its forms; where are the ethics in that?

‘institutionalized ethical restraint’ - speaking of fairytales
Replying to @marwilliamson @ProudSocialist
why have we always had, animals in positions of power who refuse to do what is best for the majority of people? why must the masses suffer and waste our lives so that so few can live in luxury?
Replying to @marwilliamson @ProudSocialist
You are so close to the point yes it’s also a matter of capitalism even if greater welfare states exist.
Replying to @marwilliamson @ProudSocialist
No, that first sentence is the dictionary definition of socialism.
