Is it when you use capital letters properly?

    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.

        What do you mean “power accumulating?”

        People in power tend to grab more power. Like Capitalism would be acceptable if there was a progressive tax on capital. But those with much capital would collude to undermine it. Likewise socialism could also decay if the people in power would use the power to their advantage. How is that mitigated?

        “we,” are you asking why we aren’t organized?

        Not exactly. I think that there is no ‘we’ among the working class which prevents the organizing.
