Interesting reply here my friend, took me a while to put this one up lol despite the quality the reward on it proves that there are people who control the outcome of every income and outcome not minding blockchain or Steem it goes beyond this; without understanding the expense on people who are relatively below par.
In my opinion, I'm a socialist and I don't agree when people say socialism doesn't work, communism might be extreme but socialism is a milder form.
The capitalist mindset is killing and somewhere in the world some people are buying a G-string for a billion dollars because they have no use for money. While the gulf us clearly propesterous.
Well as for how can we govern the world I don't really know I just feel capitalism is really brute it has a spark of aristocracy and unfairness

Absolutely right! We have a chance at a socialist government in the UK in the next election and I will be voting despite my leanings toward anarchistic thinking. Socialism is the best option out of the forms of government that have been thought up simply because it generally provides services and basic rights to the poor while keeping a functioning government, and it still provides every opportunity for people to raise themselves up into riches and for the rich to remain so. Generally, the only people you find vehimently arguing against socialism are people who's business and method of wealth creation are wrapped up in exploitative means. Also, rich tax Dodgers tend to hate socialism because a well run socialist system forces them to pay their fair share of tax. This is how socialist systems can pay for social security and free health care. Those same people will often argue that socialism can't sustain itself and they do this because they know very well that it can, but that it will be by making them pay their fair share. I have no time for greedy people like that who would rather see people suffer than pay their share into the system that sustains them and allows the opportunity to be rich. Ain't nothing wrong with working hard and becoming rich, that's not what I'm saying, but there are ways to mitigate against it being at others expense.
I had some absolute tit have a massive argument with me about a year ago in the sndbox chat room because he was trying to convince some dude in there who was writing a dissertation on socialism that socialism was flawed and only led to corruption similar to what happened in venezuela. This type of thinking is limited and straight up one sided. No governmental system is beyond corruption, and if you look at the long term socialist countries in Scandinavia as an example they have some of the highest standards of living in the world. To say that socialism only leads to situations like the one in venezuela is like saying charity only leads to people being lazy. It's simply not true.
Ha ha, anyway, I've gone off on a tangent. There are quite a lot of people like that on steem. People with quite extreme 'right wing' views that like to try and pass themselves off as 'the voice of reason' when they're far from it. I try to stay away from them these days... it makes for a quieter life 😉
We can't always attribute everything that happened in Venezuela as the fault of socialism, I do think it would be much more worse if it was a capitalist system just like you said Scandinavia is a country that seems to be doing so well. As much as we are seeing some particular set of people controlling all aspects of finance and economics in the whole world I definitely feel that average people will never compete on fairer circumstances, so without a doubt the playing field will never be leveled if people are not playing and the rules that are fair and when we have people who are not even following rules then how come how can people who are below as a result of the actions of these people even compete at all?
I won't mind having a system thats classless because the effect would not hurt so much as this capitalistic and oligarch situations we have now.
