As stated so many times: identity politics will keep dividing people up into smaller and smaller groups, until only the individual is left. At that point, of course, they'll race to the summit of victimhood. THERE CAN BE ONLY ONEhttps://twitter.com/HuffPost/status/1040668424190525440 …

I feel I need to clarify this. Socialism and capitalism both, in their most pure form(s) mean that the ones doing the work are valued the least. Yet they both have their respective mouths full of words praising industriousness.

Socialism is totalitarian by nature. Capitalism is monopolistic by nature. There's no real difference, except the road taken. The end results are the same. And before anyone cries foul, I'm talking about the *pure* implementations of these ideologies.

I would say that capitalism is driven towards monopolies as opposed to be designed around them but otherwise, yes.

I think monopolies are a natural consequence of a true, pure, capitalist system. This is why I always frown at the 'hands off, let capitalism do it's work' folks. Twitter and FB are decent examples of this laisez faire attitude.
