Capitalism vs. Socialism
07.10.2006 um 14:25SOLI INVICTO
From an American point of view, Capitalism is simply owningwhat one produces. Socialism is when the state or government controls or owns the meansof production.
Most Europeans are in favor of Socialism because they have neverexperienced capitalism. They understand almost nothing about it.
For MostEuropeans, Capitalism means Big Large American Corporations attempting to enforce aMonopoly and harm the average person.
If you sleep in a bedthat you have purchased with your own money, THAT is capitalism.
If you drive acar that you have paid for with your money, and you own your car, THAT is capitalism.
Capitalism is You Owning what you produce - that is All.
Capitalism is NOT about taking the funds or money of someone else. That is NOTcapitalism.
In America, it is the Employer who decides whom to hireand whom NOT to hire. That is his choice. But anyone can become an employer. Anyone canown a company. In America, you are not obligated to get the permission of the governmentin order to start a company. In Europe, a person often finds that starting a business isvery difficult because of having to get permission from all of the government officials.
The European system of work (employment) is much more complicated and much moredifficult.
In America, there is no requirement for you to Stop working after 35hours. (To be forced to Not work more sounds very Fascist and Anti-democratic). InEurope, there are laws that prohibit a company from being able to stay open for longerhours of buisiness. In America, a business can stay open for as long as it wants to andIT decides (or the owner decides) when to open and when to close.
In Europe,the Government decides when to allow a sale on merchandise. In America, You - the owner -decides when to have a sale.
