No other systems in the history of man kind have given so much freedom to people and taken the most number of people out of poverty than these two. Its not perfect but its the best proven system.
Even under this system, nothing is stopping a socialist or a communist from setting up a company and giving equal shares of his company away to the workers.
...yes, i agree, but in such a world there is no Government subsidy, and no Government investment; the social-economy would be free from this meddling, for the rich or for the poor. For what it's worth, whether Democrat or Republican, most politicians become fabulously wealthy; coincidence you say?
Only in some cases but in communist /socialst regimes or dictatorships, the leadership is always rich and the people are nearly always dirt poor with fewer freedom's.
If the government is big and powerful enough to provide you with everything, they can take it all away.
