Honestly, capitalism, socialism, communism, it doesn't much matter which label you slap on it. They all end up in the same place: a small ruling class on top and everybody else underneath. Capitalism concentrates power in corporations, communism concentrates it in the party, socialism in the state. Different names, different slogans, but the pyramid always looks the same. The people at the bottom are told they're free, or equal, or taken care of, and meanwhile a handful at the top own and control everything. The system changes but the ruling class never does.
