Socialism vs capitalism ,which one is good for us ??

[MileyPeardon]

Capitalism. Not only because there hasn't been a model of socialism that isn't a utopia, but also because capitalism is functioning well for many. Aspects of both are needed for the perfect world, but in our world today I am happy with capitalism.

Wikipedia defines "utopia" as "an imagined community or society that possesses highly desirable or nearly perfect qualities for its citizens." Isn't that actually a good thing? I guess the problem is that it seems we haven't been able to implement one of those perfect imagined communities in real life yet.

I think capitalism is always great for the people on top. The rich get richer, as they saw. I do think though, in a society with limited amounts of corruption, there is always opportunity. I think that no matter what your origins are, in capitalism, you can always go up if you go about it smartly.

Finding a middle ground between socialism and capitalism will good for the society. Innovation moves the economy forward. Growth is important in the global economy for a country to stay competitive and to be able to deliver in its budgets. Equality is important for people’s well-being and for the economy’s ability to grow. Social mobility is important because it means that you can be born in poverty and die in wealth, and reverse, depending on how hard you work.

Capitalism concentrates the majority of wealth at the top.  In America wages have barely moved while housing has risen drastically.  There is a major homeless problem across the world.  I'm not advocating for complete communism but a universal basic income would be a great start.

Capitalism is way better. Every single person has an equal possibility to conquer on the free market with the best and cheapest product. That way the whole society benefits.

in my opinion, the best between socialism and capitalism is still a mixture of both.

How One Deleted Scene Turns Star Wars into a Struggle against Socialism

In the era of Disney, many long-time Star Wars fans have bemoaned the supposed infiltration of their favorite franchise by leftist ideology. 

At first, I rolled my eyes at these objections, many of which remain patently absurd. But after Solo: A Star Wars Story gave us a shrill SJW droid hooking up with a pansexual Lando Calrissian, I had to admit that some critics might have a point. 

This wasn't always the case, though. In fact, one of the deleted scenes included in the 2011 Star Wars Blu-Ray collection explicitly connects the evil Galactic Empire with the socialist economic policies of Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union.

Capitalism has already failed. There is no true concurrence any more. Corporations are the new dictators, and they have no mercy. I guess that a socialistic society is the lesser of the evils. Capitalism is about money and gadgets, socialism is about humans.

capitlism failed multiple times, last time it failed was, just before the holocaust,

now i am afriad capitalism will fail again, because everyone wants to create cryptocurrencies and find money earning cattle that work for it.

Capitalism didn't fail in the Weimar Republic. Capitalism as it is implies that governments do not intervene in the economy by any means. While the hyperinflation in Weimar Republic was caused exactly by governmental inrventions and uncontrolled printing of money.

capitalism creates governments sooner or later, just observe the current cryptochaos people sooner or later will desire a solution for that

Unregulated Capitalism is so beautiful, A world where Jeff Bezos is worth $150 billion while others are living on $1 a day.

It's so beautiful that owners can extract as much wealth as possible from their workers while paying them peanuts, all hail capitalism.

I'm more curious what happens after robots and automation take over. How will capitalism survive when there are no jobs left?

The only capitalism left will be mega corporations that control all the robots.

They will be forced to implement a universal basic income or else there will be mass rioting and citizens will overthrow the government.

In order to maintain capitalism among themselves - since all the poor people will have starved to death because they can't pay for robot-produced goods - big corporation controllers will start capitalism among their robots... between big corporations. It will become like the early years of Solaria in Isaac Asimov's Foundation and Earth.
