We need to get past one persons greed full stop. Socialism breaks down due to corruption inherent in human nature I do agree on that point or where you were going....
Personally I think there should be calorific values on all consumable product incl. alcohol so people know
Goods should come with margin% so people know behind the marketing what they are being sold
Anyone in a charge of a company or public position should have their income open to scrutiny
that seems sensible to me, we don't hide **** but at the same time we don't force people to behave in certain ways beyond those that are illegal
probelm solved - vote for me
Capitalism is good and most of its small issues are easily resolved with higher taxes in theory. On the other hand, socialism's issues are not so easy to resolve and that is its downfall. Both ideologies have issues but Capitalism's is easier to manage.
For a long portion of recent history Capitalism has been well managed by governments. Unfortunately it's starting to get harder because not everyone plays by the same rules anymore. I said taxes fixes the problems with Capitalism, but only if companies don't leave - slapping a 50% tax on Apple today just means they will pack up and leave to a tax haven that charges them 5%. Going back a few decades that did not happen. So now we're in a situation where rich countries are very hesitant to levy higher taxes because it will cause a flow of outward capital. And when you cannot use tax to control Capitalism, that is when the system starts to break down and the gap between the rich and poor widens
