sociaism vs capitalism seems to boil down to whether or not generational/private wealth is considered a virtue or not. one big family vs lots of little families.

in one big family the protocol of engagement is extreme passive aggression. between smaller families, outright conflict is allowed.

this boils down to one decision. how much power should money wield? money, as tokenized power is the only way to transmit power over long distances and across generations

the total amount of social power in a system is finite (since attention is finite). any power that is given to money comes from society. the more power money has, the less power society has

society controls through mechanisms like social pressure, shame, guilt, friendship, etc... like the nuclear force it is much stronger than gravity at short distances but doesn’t scale
