: I may just be uneducated but I believe that socialism can co-exist with capatilism in an environment that it beeficial to everyone.
Yeah explain why Capitalists are really intolerant of socialism and are determined to hunt down every last one and hound them with nonsensical arguments about greed and generalisations about the populations wishes and selective historical knowledge.
Plus any socialist, EG selfless, act I can think of is unrewarding, even disadvantaging in capitalist society, your actively punished for lack of conformity.
