Free market is for me. In socialism/communism, a few elite live better off the hard work of others (wait that sounds like free market)...with the exception that in free market everyone has a "chance" to break out of the socio-economic class they were born into.

Side: Free market.

in free market everyone has a "chance" to break out of the socio-economic class they were born into.

That's true, but at the same time the cost of that chance is that you have to indoctrinate ordinary people into accepting it as their lifetime incentive. Slowly the world begins to fill up with shallow, greedy people who would stab their own grandmother in the back for a dollar. Summarily, millions of people have dedicated their lives to the acquisition of profit instead of exploring the mysteries of the universe or conquering disease.

In my opinion, the free market nurtures the wrong aspects of humanity. For that reason it becomes counterproductive.

Side: Free market.

Me too. An over regulated market makes essential services more expensive for those that need them. I know of almost no conservative that is actually opposed to all charity, just to charity, for people that can afford their own stuff. Far left socialism starts a never ending cycle of poverty.

I literally cannot even believe there are still some people who want to deregulate the markets after what happened in 2008. When you are incapable of learning from your own mistakes then you are a very dangerous person.

Every country in the top ten on the world's quality of life index has significant socialist aspects to its economy. The US does not, and it ranks thirteenth.

At the end of the day you are just repeating the stuff American media has brainwashed you with. You probably don't even understand what socialism is.

I pick the one that is harder to pull off but ultimately far more rewarding if it was successfully implemented rather than the one which we supposedly already have which we know sucks.
