    it’s almost as if systems are tools that can be used for good or for evil, and have been invented to deal with certain problems, and can cause others of their own making, necessitating new tools to replace them and fix the problems they created.

      Yes, but your statements inaccurately imply a certain equivalence between communism and capitalism that does not hold. Capitalism is hell when done properly. Socialism is good when done properly.

        Capitalism is hell when done properly. Socialism is good when done properly.

        And the inverse can also be correct then, which is my entire point, although I word it more that any system can work correctly if the right people make the right decisions.
