Hey, I'm mostly a lurker, but all of the "end of the year" stuff got me thinking about what the best year in gaming history would be, and after thinking about it, I think I've come to my conclusion:
" To answer the original question in short: Capitalism - Is the economic structure based upon the idea that everyone has a shot at making their fortune and are entitled to the wealth they have earned. (Minus taxes of course) Socialism - Is the political system based upon the idea that every man is equal and everything within a country is property of the government. The wealth of the nation is the divided among the population equally. (Of course this never quite works in practice) Sure, that is a over-simplification but I tried... "
This is answer that gives the most fair treatment to both sides.
I would add that if you break them down, Capitalism is the political application of individualism, whereas socialism is the political application of collectivism.
