Are Capitalists smarter than Socialists? Nov 8th 2012, 23:44 The question seems to be justified because they have been winning almost every battle since the seventies. I have had ample experience with both Capitalist and non-Capitalist meetings, conferences, caucuses, brain-storming sessions, whatever you want to call it. There was the same amount of aimlessness, silliness, stupidity, manipulation and downright malice in both. The major difference, as I see it, is in the power-structure. In Capitalist groups the structure is dominated by fear of those above you in the hierarchy (I often call it a 'fear-structure' ). The one, at the very top of this fear-structure, is in a position to ruthlessly enforce his main objective: maximize profit for the company, or failing that, his bonus in the next CEO-compensation-package. In non-Capitalist groups you have this major element of fear missing, so the exercise is not as focused as in the Capitalist fear-dominated sessions. Besides, we socialists have scruples, principles and don't have a clearly defined objective. The capitalists don't have the scruples and the principles and their objectives are VERY clearly defined: they want it all.
