English: Socialism is defined as the collective ownership and control of the means of production. Capitalism is defined as private ownership and control of the means of production. Neither are viable methods and all countries range from 30% to 70% private ownership, or fail in some way or the other. Socialism does not work because it does not provide sufficient incentives to growth. Capitalism does not work because it does not provide any social safety net. Socialism crushes the rich. Capitalism crushes the poor. The only thing that works is to crush no one. Below 30% private ownership fails. Below 30% provided collectively fails.
