That's exactly wrong...

Capitalism and socialism are the same thing... both are based in fraud... both are based in (a shared) materialistic philosophy... only with quibbles and deception re "who is in control"... and "who should be".

Free markets are the opposite of Capitalism and Socialism... and, quite naturally, the only REAL path to attaining equality... is the one that STARTS in equality... and then requires its recognition by all participants... while disallowing one controlling any other... not as a function of materialism defining outcomes granted as privilege... but as RIGHT in both origin and outcome.

What you (say you) object to... is the same thing I object to... as the natural product of MONOPOLY...

But, you still insist on you having the "right" to dictate outcomes to others... your position is one that is not sustainable unless equality does not exist... and rights do not exist... only privileges granted some (classes / groups) by others with superior privileges.

Only, you fail to recognize that... as you refuse to recognize (the fraud of) the extension of monopoly control into the political... Every element in yours... depends on some "granting" position or privilege to others.

Only freedom... and free markets as the economic extension of our freedoms and our natural rights into markets... is NOT based on some (supposed) superior granting privileges to some (created) group of inferiors... as only "freedom, first"... is NOT based on "materialism" defining all our values... with some necessarily made superior to others.

But, those intent on imposing control... will gladly lie to you about "freedom and free markets" and "capitalism" being the same thing... ?

Yours... "admitting" socialism needs capitalism and visa versa... is the overt admission that you don't believe any of what you say you do... about equality ?

It says "we want to pretend to be equal"... and thus need kings to tell us that we are ?
