> They generally share the view that capitalism unfairly concentrates power andwealth within a small segment of society that controls capital and derives its wealth through a system ofexploitation.
Capitalism, socialism, communism, fascism, etc, all end up like this, where power and control remain with the few.
You can't force or educate out human nature. Self-interest always ramains.
But people keep playing their games. Always looking outside, trying to change the world, rather than within. And they fail, fail, fail, over and over again. Same shit, different flies.
This claims too much. Differentials in power may always exist, but that doesn't mean power has the same distribution in all systems.
Social democratic systems coupled with vibrant civil societies lead to societies where power, though still distributed unevenly, forms a more interconnected and open network, instead of one centralized institution or small set of institutions that dominates society.
It's a bit unclear, though, which one leads to the other. Or if they're simply the same.
