For those of you

who have been remiss in your duty to yourself to examine the truth, Capitalism Magazine has this definition:

Socialism is state ownership of the means of production. Capitalism is private ownership of the means of production.

The author, Wayne Dunn, says further:

To be civilized is to deal with others only through their consent, through persuasion rather than brute force. Civilized men understand that physical coercion is out of the question, that any relationship between individuals must be voluntary. An uncivilized man, by contrast, has no reservations whatsoever about applying a club to any perceived adversary's noggin. Force and intimidation characterize his actions....

This is the set up to answer the question "Do you think socialism was able to 'civilize' or 'tame' capitalism by 1914? Or do you think that capitalism did not need to be 'civilized' or 'tamed'."

Read The Whole Thing.
