I guess what I mean to say is pure socialism does not allow opportunity for worker bees to rise to the level of drones. I hate to go back to the East vs. West Germany thing after World War II, but the capitalist Germany saw rapid growth and became the 3rd largest world economy, whereas the socialist Germany collapsed shortly before the USSR. It's just the clearest cut example of how socialism simply does not work as well as capitalism, it it even does at all.

Yeah lets go back to West/East Germany.
One country's economy grew rapidly whilst the social bonds slowly overtime decayed to the point where family and social life have been almost irreversibly changed for the worse.
The other; whilst poor, had extremely strong social and family bonds, but since the wall collapsed have sadly been subjected to the same degredation of those bonds.
Capitalism is a shit pit that while giving us the illusion or 'working' simply doesn't. It's all very well generating massive wealth but when that wealth is funneled to the top 1 to 2% of the worlds population (which incedentally also pay the least % back of that wealth in taxes) you have to question it's viability. I do believe that since Capitalism's domination the poor have gotten poorer and there has never been as many hungry people in the world.
Countries obsession with GDP is a malaise born out of capitalism that just emphasises that capitalism gives 0fucks to human happiness and human well being
