capitalism ignores the poor and helps the rich. Without at least basic needs being ensured for almost everyone guarunteed, your country is not succeeding in treating its citizens right. I envy you Britain. You have a fantastic government.

In capitalism, no exchange takes place unless both parties believe they benefit.

A country does not treat its citizens right by making them slaves to each other.
i agree. Thats the beauty of Democratic Socialism. Its socialism AND fairness all in one! Smiley

What does that have to do with what I said? Democratic or not, socialism makes slaves out of citizens.

Of course, all taxation is involuntary servitude, and undesirable for that reason alone. But it can at least be justified if it goes toward the prevention of greater coercion.
Socialism makes slaves of its citizens? Ha! Capitalism makes people slaves of the corporations and the rich!

Socialism has people work for the Government. And again, the kind of Socialism I am talking about is not a pure 100% socialism. Its a very loose style in which the government makes only the basic needs, while everything else is made by private enterprises. But the government does have to regulate companies. The amount of power they have shouldnt be anywhere near what power the government has. Unforunately in a capitalism, they often tie or surpass the government;s power. Corporations cheat when the government sits idle and lets it happen. Thats unfair to the people.
