So some people in government and some people from big companies are against intervention by the state when they are making good money. But when the banks fail and the economy tanks now they want intervention? It seems they only want help when things get bad, they should have got a little help here and there so that would have never happened. Capitalism is great, but if only fueled by greed then the end result is never good.

in capitalism people get what they get based on gifts, talents, hard work, and education.
-millions of people making millions of decisions based price
::: This is true. But you can also add “inheritance, interest and investment (‘takes money to make more money’) nepotism and clannism (it’s ‘who you know’), luck, cutting corners, cheating people”, and a number of other factors- some of which necessitate some degree of regulation.

in socialism people get what they get based in large part by state intervention. more regulation. more oversight.
-fewer people making millions decisions based price and guilt and the desire for power.

:::You can also say that in socialism people get what they get based in *some* part by state intervention. some regulation. some oversight. ::

Pure capitalism leads to the economic equivalent of “Lord of the Flies”.

in communism the government is all there is. the individual is nothing. does not exist.

::Actually, it is *classes* that are not supposed to exist- not individuals. And socialism is an end in itself and not a ‘means to’ communism. :::

-everything in the economy is centrally planned, very few make all the decisions

if you would like to learn something research conversations between margaret thatcher and gorbachev.

or check out Yeltin’s first speech to communist students in russia after his first visit to the united states…more specifically a houston grocery store.

more than that…search out someone who left the USSR and came to america. just ask them which is better for people.
