In America, we don't, in daily discourse, use the words 'capitalism' or 'socialism.' They've been kind of nonexistent words, I would say, amongst the general public.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Socialism's not a word that I use. I say 'social democracy' because I don't think the government needs to own all the means of production.
What we do today has nothing to do with capitalism or socialism. It is a crony type of system that transfers money to the coffers of bureaucrats.
But we don't have an example of a democratic society existing in a socialist economy - which is the only real alternative to capitalism in the modern world.
I think you hear, at least as an undertone, and it's going to grow louder, is that we believe that capitalism is the mantra of the day and anything that creeps towards socialism is a problem.
Capitalism is war; socialism is peace.
There are words bandied about that are being misused - words like 'socialism,' words like 'communism,' words like 'fascism.'
We are not Marxist or capitalist; we are for the poor people.
Capitalism is using its money; we socialists throw it away.
Capitalism is part of our system, but it's not for the faint of heart.
I'm convinced that there's a new way to define capitalism, and that the definition should include three ingredients - that we love our work, that we are building a traditionally successful business, and that we are having some positive impact in the world, whether it's local or global.
