We've all looked carefully at the economic problems plaguing the planet, I have tied to in this blog over the years, and my conclusion is that the solution is being sold to us, yet again, in the form of two false choices. Just like the false choice in the partisan divide with Democrat or Republican, the establisment has already mobilised the globalisation of socialism and the globalisation of capitalism and participation in either in our current model would effectively yeild control to the same globalist cabal of banksters (the more capitalist face if the cabal) or globalists (the more socialist face of the cabal). The truth is they are interchangeable.
There is no reason why an all or nothing choice must be made. We can look at each element in either system and either regulate, embrace or dispose of whatever can be determined to be good, bad or ugly.
CAPITLISM

| How socialists view capitalism. |
Capital finance has captured the peoples reprentative goverment and left hollow plattitudes in its place. The subversive central banks have abandoned the free market guidance of monetary policy, they are communist and care only about the artificial policy that drives "price stability" and implement communist type "central command" style policy.
These unaccountable central banks that dictate monetary policy by decree with no taxpayer oversight are NOT a good thing for you and I. The shadowy group should not brag about "independence" and should instead apologize for being "unaccountable"
Crony capitalism is what late-stage capitalism turns into an
An ideological seeming form of fake capitalism that seizes the people's representation in govt, the apparatus of the state and places elite globalists of capital finance at the helm and the citizens are condemned to wage slavery.
SOCIALISM
Socialism is often mischeiviously characterised by East European and South American dictator ruled nations but those that do so never explain the role of the West or Internationalists in placing them there, they just blame the economic system. With the scandanavian model democratic socialist states, and for a while Canada and the UK had elements of this working well incorporated into their landscape, taxes were high but the standard of living remarkably high and social security remarkably succesful. Medical care and societies ability to deal with problems was very good and crime was low with social ills mamaged.
If anything privatisation started putting an end to this run whereas in the eastern european states government corruption brought down their systems in tandem with external meddling from the West. Eventually the externally corrupted or sabotaged leadership or corrupt governance from within will show but its corruption, not socialism that fails in socialist states especially when forced or bribed to start conspiring with the corrupt financiers and governments of the capitalist West or face regime change and elites scratch each other back leading to dictatorships in Socialist states and again, globalism. At thisbpoint with the West watching its manufacturing outsourced to former socialist or communist countries which are now viewed as "low cost wage centres" Manufactured goods must be shipped back to the western markets with the globalist multinationals outcompeting the entrepreneurs that capitalism was so hopeful for, feudalising society with a wealth divide and ultimately leaving the people of socialist and capitalist nations in thw same feudalised state. Right now all roads lead to globalism.
The only conclusions that can be drawn easily are that seeing the military, private prisons and private healthcare are working TERRIBLY under the profit motive. They are guided by powerful defence contractors or lobby, and big pharma lobby has been as disastrous as any other group. Another are that msking private is disaterous is to have private central banks. These should all be nationalised. Those are areas that must remain socialist.
That being said, govt run bureaucracies have their own issues and militaries can still end up just like the old Soviet Union if under government control unless the parliamentary, constitutional and congressional systems account for this.
I will give thoughts on how I believe this can be remedied in a later post combined with my thoughts on the remedy for the ills of democracy because the same globalist corruption is at the heart of both.
The popular perception is underneath.
Differences Between Capitalism and Socialism
Updated November 20, 2018
Capitalism vs. socialism. Two different political, economic and social systems in use by countries around the world. The United States, for instance, is usually considered a prime example of a capitalist country. Sweden is often considered a strong example of a socialist society. Sweden is not socialist, however, in the true sense of the word. In practice, most countries have mixed economies with economic elements of both capitalism and socialism.
What is Capitalism?
Capitalism is an economic system where the means of production are owned by private individuals. "Means of production" refers to resources including money and other forms of capital. Under a capitalist economy, the economy runs through individuals who own and operate private companies. Decisions over the use of resources are made by the individual or individuals who own the company.
In a capitalist society, companies that incorporate are typically treated by the same laws as individuals. Corporations can sue and be sued. They can buy and sell property. They can perform many of the same actions as individuals.
A capitalist system is also called a free market economy or free enterprise.
Under capitalism, companies live by the profit motive. They exist to make money. All companies have owners and managers. Sometimes, especially in small businesses, the owners and managers are the same people. As the business gets larger, the owners may hire managers who may or may not have any ownership stake in the firm. In this case, the managers are called the owner's agents.
The job of the management is more complex than just making a profit. In a capitalist society, the goal of the corporation is maximizing shareholder wealth.
Under capitalism, it is the government's job by enforcing laws and regulations to make sure there is a level playing field for privately-run companies. The amount of governing laws and regulations in a particular industry generally depends on the potential for abuse in that industry.
What is Socialism?
Socialism is an economic system where the means of production, such as money and other forms of capital, are owned by the state or public. Under a socialist system, everyone works for wealth that is in turn distributed to everyone. Under capitalism, you work for your own wealth. A socialist economic system operates on the premise that what is good for one is good for all. Everyone works for their own good and for the good of everyone else. The government decides how wealth is distributed among the people.
In a pure socialist economy, there is no free market like we see in a capitalist nation. The government provides for the people. The taxes are usually higher than in a capitalist system. There may be government-run health care and a complete system of government-operated education. It is a misconception that people do not pay for these services. They do pay for them through higher taxes. Socialist systems emphasize equal distribution of wealth among the people.
Mixed Economies
Many countries have mixed economic systems with elements of both capitalism and socialism. In the U.S., predominantly a capitalist system, there are many government-run programs, notably Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare. In many socialist countries, as in Sweden, there are also still private businesses.
