Which political ideology do you most identify with?
Do you feel that the wealth created by capitalism benefits society as a whole or just a select few?
If one simply means the private ownership of the means of production, distribution, and exchange, then I think that the vast majority of Capitalist systems are beneficial towards generating societal wealth as a whole, yet disproportionately benefit the private owners of such at the expense of the workers and society at large who actually generate the value. However if one takes a more expansive definition, where any form of markets are a form of Capitalism, then I would disagree. I would say that a Market Socialist system of some kind would be the best general framework to create a society that both allows for wealth generation on a. societal level, grants individuals independence from corporations, the government, and the community, and will ensure the welfare of everyone within the society.
