The old capitalism vs communism discussion again. I'm sure we'll get it sorted out this time.

In hope of sparking some new thoughts, I've just realised that this is one of the subjects where you don't get that "enlightened centrism" thing happening.

Presumably because there's a fairly well defined outcome where the rich get all their stuff taken off them. And so if you meet in the middle then you end up with some kind of modern social democracy, which your average enlightened centrist doesn't want.
