An entirely capitalist nation will fail. An entirely socialist country will fail.
There are certain socialist functions in the US that work effectively. I am a supporter of certain socialist ideas, but an entirely socialist country is not what we should be looking for. Rather, the idea should be a country that is both socially and economically equitable for all.
It’s not so much that everyone earns the same or has the same, but that they have enough to love comfortably.
There’s also the fact that there seems to be humor found in the misfortunes of others, which frankly can be disgusting. The culture of the world at large needs to change from “What can you do for me?” To “What can we do, together?”
I guarantee if collaboration were more of an inherent presence within American Culture, we wouldn’t be in danger of not being the largest economy in the world.
But yeah. That’s what I think.
