Mainly just asking you guys, but here’s my take:

Capitalism:

  • An economic system in which individuals privately own the buildings that produces stuff and services.
  • Their form of democracy is a “democracy of the minority” at best, and at worst, is a dictatorship disguising itself as a democracy. Has that illusion of choice shit going on for the majority class.
  • Can’t get rid of the top man “running the place” due to him/her owning the deed of the building. Sad, can we get an F in the chat for the workers having their labor exploited by this POS.

Socialism:

  • An economic in which the workers who do the shit for the business run the building that provide goods and services.
  • Their form of democracy is real democracy. In which that the majority class, actually have an impact on what they want in society. The minority somewhat gets to live, but not without a gun on the head and a sign next to it saying: “we will not hesitate to shoot you if you give in to your hedonistic greed the profit motive.”
  • Can get rid of the person just sitting their and owning the deed to the building, the least harmful method is via democratic vote and choice on who gets to lead the operation, or if the deed owner ain’t gonna give up his title of “leader” well, we shoot the guy if he/she reacts with malicious violence.

    I think at its most macro level, capitalism is fundamentally the loss of what little human agency has existed, giving way to the newly developed natural laws of capital which judge the capitalist class, thus enforcing a fundamentally anti-human, anti-life, human system. It is the cataclysmic reorientation of social relations in the wake of the ceaseless enforcement and judgment of capitals laws upon the capitalist class and then upon the masses.

    Socialism is the process of history that naturally reestablishes human agency and fundamentally challenges the basis for the natural laws of capital, and thus the class that represents it, developing a human system capable of bringing capital under the full subjegation of newly developed natural laws of social equity, reciprocity, kinship etc. Tho there is no direct way back to the traditional world, socialism sublates capitalism in a way that allows humanity a future without the tyranny of capital, allowing for humanity, together, to brave futures not yet imagined.
