Socialism? Capitalism? Heh. By in large, I'm rather indifferent as to which system is in place because it's all generally based on who is playing the game. People.
It's insane to assume that every capitalists wakes up with the thought in their head, "How can I make others suffer by exploiting their efforts?" There ARE benevolent capitalists.
It's also insane to assume that the vast collective of production by the people has an individual's autonomy in mind. But not all socialists are bad.
The point of my post is that as long as all people involved are playing the game in the most autonomous way possible, either system could work. Sadly, we have seen BOTH systems fall to corruption. It's almost like the law of entropy. All things in order must eventually fall into chaos.
It's not the systems in place, it's basically the social aspects that demand a certain kind of behavior that are in place that have been put there by the people of that system. If the people want their lives to be a living hell, they'll see to it that it happens, if they want something better and more liberating, they'll see to that as well.
