I think most people would agree that neither system is perfect but which is better (or less worse)? And I don't mean which theory is better on paper or in ideal circumstances but rather which is better in cold hard reality. And I also realize that every country is in some way a mixture of the two so let me phrase it this way: Would you rather your country veer more towards the capitalistic side or the socialistic side?

obviously a mixed is better , capitalism is overused and misinterpreted, its meant to be healthy competition, what we have is a cartel of price fixing monopolies who are paying off politicians to be deregulated. also nations vary massively in their minimum wages and human rights to some get paid peanuts to produce cheap crap. socialism in its truest form has some merits, especially where certain key industries are nationalised. however the EU has in effect banned any nationalization, which makes corbyns pro EU stance completely contradictory to his beliefs. socialism ultimately fails, but certain parts of it are eternally important, workers rights especially are crucial in demanding fair wages and working conditions etc socialism sells well to kids with black and white ideals. ultimately many socialist leaders are stinking hypocrites as they try to look good demanding free gifts for everyone , but end up bankrupting the nation with anti common sense anti economic policies which bankrupt nations.

Of course countries have it and they have it because its interchangeable. Britain, France and Italy are great examples of socialism running arm in arm with capitalism. Even the U.S. have numerous socialist policies.

Socialism and Communism are about as different as Capitalism and Fascism; one can become the other but they all have very different ideologies.

a mixed economy is the best way, but the governments need to regulate big companies way tighter. instead of being bought off. |

Full socialism would grind to a halt. Unbridled capitalism would be a disaster.
The question is meaningless because neither, on their own, actually work on a large scale. |

I'm all for a good dose of capitalism but lets at least follow the ideology of what capitalism is about.

By getting rid of this new 'neo-liberal style conservatism'. I'm sure there are plenty of conservative MP's who would support that move.

Greed is a good thing in the individual, it's the best way to prosper.
The only time greed isn't good, is government greed. |

Absolutely this ^. We are fundamentally selfish and we are naturally competative and that's why the human race has survived and prospered like it has. Capatalism in the wrong hands though, exasperates that selfish competativeness at the expense of others.

I feel that socialism does not work in the 21st century, and capitalism is a get rich quick, for ten years, no longer gives a stable rich economy, like the EU, its nothing but a socialist grab all, and make the world better, its the same with globalism, another failed thing, that people think that, there should be no nations or borders, and the world should have one government, that rules all of us.
