I am predicting we’re going to hear the word socialism a lot over the next few years. The right is using it like a scare tactic and the left is using it as a marketing technique. To be honest I really wasn’t sure on the technical differences between Socialism and communism until I researched this episode. I cleared the cobwebs from my brain and remembered what I learned in high school civics class. I say this because I think the two get confused in mainstream media and this confusion is sometimes is done so by design. I want to clear up the misunderstandings and look at not only Socialism, but also Capitalism with all of its shortcomings. Something I never hear politicians talk about (no matter what side of the aisle they're on) is automation and how Capitalism as we know it is about to drastically change.
