Capitalism and Communism
Capitalism and communism stand at opposite poles. Their essential difference is this: The communist, seeing the rich man and his fine home, says: "No man should have so much." The capitalist, seeing the same thing, says: "All men should have as much.".
-Phelps Adams
"There is really no alternative to a capitalistic, bourgeois society other than some form of socialism. But socialism is widely, almost universally, recognized to be a practical and intellectual failure, a set of policies now so thoroughly discredited that in America no movement with any ambition to achieve power or even influence can afford to embrace it. There are of course repackaged varieties of socialism, such as industrial planning, but they quickly lose appeal when seen for what they are. The result is that those who dislike this society have only a policy of severe criticism without an alternative program they can articulate."
— Robert H. Bork
