Capitalism vs. Socialism

Post #1

Post by WinePusher »

This thread is inspired by something Haven wrote in another thread:
I used to be a pretty staunch Marxist socialist, but I've been sort of drifting away from that viewpoint. My views on economics and politics are still evolving. http://debatingchristianity.com/forum/v ... 3&start=20
I myself have recently become somewhat more sympathetic towards Marxist ideas. Marx predicted and wanted the end of Capitalism, and he wanted a Socialist society.

1) What is wrong with Capitalism?
2) What is wrong with Socialism?
3) Which system is better? Why?

Sorry, I don't understand what you are talking about. More specifically, I don't understand the terms "slave welfare" and "slave society".
I explained the slave welfare analogy quite clearly.

Slave society is just that, a society with the common conception of "slave".
The way you used "slave' is not the common conception of "slave".
