Is it when you use capital letters properly?

    Liberalism is the ideological aspect of capitalism. “Raw capitalism” doesn’r really mean anything.

    To move onto socialism, we need to overthrow the state, replace it with a socialist one, and establish public ownership as the principle aspect of the economy. Countries like China, Vietnam, and Cuba have already done this, as did the former USSR.

      For liberalism, see sibling comment.

      we need to overthrow the state

      Capitalism is making sure that there is not much of a we.

        Capitalism with monopoly is still capitalism, Liberalism being a failed ideology does not mean it ceases to be Liberalism as it fails. There’s absolutely a we within capitalism, the working classes are a we.

          How would socialism prevent power from accumulating? Liberals could probably do the same with capital.

          There should be a working class we in capitalism but I don’t see it. Why do you think that it exists and that it is not dispersed?

            What do you mean “power accumulating?” This sounds like you’re talking about magic or something. Capitalists use capital for their plunder, I don’t see what you mean by linking that to socialism. As for the working class “we,” are you asking why we aren’t organized? That takes time and effort.
