Capitalism is better than Socialism.

I'll argue that socialism, not in the shape of form of earlier prototypes, but in essence as a modern development, will obsolete obsolete capitalistic thoughts. 1. Supply and Demand When thinking about control mechanisms there don"t have to be a pure aristocratic control system like there was for example in the DDR. What will be produced and why could be discussed in the open, thus in one collective engagement. - In which, like in this discussion, the decision may be based upon reason and not upon artificially created sensations like modern advertising. If not corrupted, the products would certainly diminish in range of choice, but there satisfy more people equally. Also, in modern capitalism overproduction is no exception. One prominent example is food. Here in Germany, we are trashing 690 pounds of food - per second. In the US, 40 percent of food is lost in the food-supply-chain. https://www.nrdc.org... http://www.spiegel.de... 2. Private Property Private property ultimately is a detachment to the greater community. In capitalism the means to all ends is making money, and property is thus an enslaving mental philosophy. If you have no money and are badly positioned in the market, you are effectively in a situation of ultimate guilt and detached from any means of happiness available in a modern capitalistic society. Also, it is an illusion thinking everybody can win. The Wheel spins and anyone could win, but not everybody. Also, money is a symbolic value. Many people confuse money with direct wealth, dedication their actions to accumulating as much as possible.- If this is a side effect of capitalism, it is therefore a significant one. The wealth accumulated will always end in the hands of few, since you need money to make money, and lots of money to gain lots of money. This money has to be earned by the everyday people. And their sole purpose of going on is the belief that someday the wheel may spin in their favor, but most of the time, it won't. Capitalism is a good enough system since it builds of an easy to manipulate human property, greed and self direction, and is thus easier to manage since corruption or complete absence of ethics is in it's very core, but a good system it is not. 3. Work and Play The argument that a simple worker carrying sticks and stones is less of worth than a manager is true if viewed in terms of demand and supply. However, most people in modern nations have access to higher education, and in many nation it is completely free. The cost is easily regained in the long run since a higher educated society is obviously more effective in solving problems. Capitalism's eyes are fixed on the short term and not on sustained development. Effective health care makes money in the long run and loses in the short term. There is no need in denying people higher education but to balance master and servant. Truly exceptional people should work for the common good, and not to create mind-boggling complex derivatives for private banks.- Since people in the US have high debts after college, the private sector like banks are able to cherry pick those candidates away from the market. I highly doubt they are happy, as I highly doubt anyone is happy in this position. It is the overproduction of goods and services as well as the reluctance to automate processes in the industry because of the irrational fear of job loss preventing absurdly lower work hours for everybody. There are "bullsh#t jobs" on the rise just for pretending. People want security, yes, but security may also be delivered in alternative ways. Most products are only profitable because of aggressive advertisement creating a need where there wasn't. What people need besides security is mostly a social property. Right in the front, the feeling of being of use for society beyond simple symbolic representations, collaborating in the mission of making life free and more open for muse and creativity. What can be archived in those means is good represented with the open software foundation and technologies like the Internet. When people get the tools to be free and creative, they wont go back to proprietary tools, but enjoy their work in a fast landscape of freedom and choice.
