I wasn't assigning you a negative label. I was naming the two competing economic systems and competing perspectives. And I wasn't talking about economic systems, rather state responses to economic systems. Socialism, I repeat, is a macro level term for the management of economic systems; as is capitalism. As for "communal", I don't use it. I simply talk about policies. You'll notice I rarely use capitalist as well because so few of our debates on this thread or any other on SI, for that matter, are about macro level economic issues. It's politics 24/7.
