Don't believe the promises of any ideology.

If capitalism really was so great, why would people be wondering why they only get to keep a tiny portion of the wealth they generate? Three people own more wealth than half of America. Three people.
The system is sick and those three people could easily pay ten thousand to produce propaganda to convince those 160 million that everything is as it should be. Either fix the sick system or the peasants will fix it for you and you won't like it.

At least the peasants are free to fix what they please. Americans have just been too complacent.
Under capitalism, people are worth the sweat on their brow, unlike communism where all wealth is divided equally, except for those at the top.

But it's not a dichotomy. Right now we live in a system of capitalized gains, socialist costs. (Bank bailouts, welfare, crony contracts, etc) May as well socialize the profits since we're already paying the costs.

Repeat after me:
A government big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take everything you have.

Never forget that Commie Jews killed millions in the Holodomor. The promise of equal land to peasants (collectivization) was a death sentence.
