Maybe capitalism, socialism and capitalism are pretty much the same or part of the same coin especially in view of observation that socialists posing as capitalists is what USA-ians have experienced since WWII. Perhaps they are "capitalists" when they want "deregulation" (i.e. lack of barriers to entry) and then conveniently they are "socialists" when they want to keep competition away. When they get into extreme control-freak mode about competition then they are "communists". The idea that "The State" or "The City" (Metro) should have final say over resources is socialist..and even capitalists idea that the State could give them the unlimited right over resources is.. rather.. socialist. Consider communism as being a fancy group psychology technique to get millions of folk to oppress each other so that the 'secret oligarchy' can have less competition at having fancy things that the plebes "aren't supposed to have".
The right of men to choose how they want to apply their talents IMHO isn't a "capitalist" concept. Capitalism, socialism and communism seem to all deal with centralized resource control.
So perhaps what one has is a 'secret oligarchy' waging war against what they call "the masses" through capitalism, communism and socialism?
