"Reagan and I knew, too, what did not work, namely socialism in every shape or form. Nowadays socialism is more often dressed up as environmentalism, feminism, or international concern for human rights. All sound good in the abstract. But scratch the surface and you will as likely as not discover anti-capitalism, patronising and distorting quotas, and intrusions upon the sovereignty and democracy of nations."
Margaret Thatcher
The main characteristic of socialism and of communism is public ownership of the means of production, and therefore, the abolition of private property. The right to property is the right to use and disposal. Under fascism man retained the semblance or pretense of private property, but the Government held total power over its use and disposal. Another importantly underpinned characteristic is that Fascism and Communism were not the two opposites. They were two rival gangs fighting over the same territory. But turning to the point, both were just comparative variants of socialism based upon the pure formulation of collectivist principle that man is ought to be a rightless slave of the state. When we talk about Capitalism we discuss about pure, full, free, uncontrolled, unregulated laissez-faire Capitalism, with a staunch separation of state and economics, in the same way and for the same reasons as the separation of state and church. The foremost mistakable interpretation that tries to define Capitalism is an altruist version that Capitalism represents the fittest way to attain common good. The most convincible explanation of Capitalism lies within the layer of of moral justification that Capitalism is the only system being always constant with the rational nature of the man: Another important aspect that finally does set the definition of Capitalism is that protects the survival of the man and that its most systematically ruling principle is Justice. The Ethics of Capitalism does not mainly emphasize a method of how to behave accordingly to fulfill the purpose of Ethics. Relevancy of Ethics of Capitalism sustains guiding principles of how (with the assistance of ethical intercourse) to find the grain of hope that would boost the potential of every individual towards the fulfillment of what he or she wants to achieve. The mainstream of Capitalist philosophy is a spontaneous course that enables every individual to be rewarded accordingly for what he's standing for. Traditionally socialism and its defective program of misery would reject such principles and support altruism instead. And what is the moral code of altruism? The basic principle of altruism is that man has no right to exist for his own sake that service to others is the only justification of his existence, and that self-sacrifice is his highest moral virtue, duty and value. It would be a disastrous mistake to confuse altruism as the basic component of Socialism with kindness, good will or even respect for the rights of others. The irreducible primary of altruism is self-sacrifice which means that self is a standard of evil and selfless is the ruling principle for good. The Misery of Socialism mainly consists of altruism and collectivism. The latter is the miserable theory that collective group has a moral primacy over the individual. Collectivism holds that in human affairs, the society, the community, the nation, the proletariat, the race etc. - is the unit of reality and the standard of value. In fact such units are the most grounding base of Socialism's ideological performance. On the view of the standard of value, the individual has reality only as part of the group, and value only insofar as he serves it. On his own, he has no political or economic grounds. He is to be sacrificed for the group whenever its representative, the state deems this desirable. So Collectivism means the boldest deception that puts subjugation of the individual to a group ahead of vice versa. Wheatear this may be race, class, or state – it doesn't matter. Collectivism holds that man must remain chained to collective action and collective thought for the sake of what is called the common good. In Socialist theory, common good is oftenly compared to and equaled with social justice. Social justice is just a torjan horse which has been established by totalitarian governments in order to assure the survival of their defective propaganda. The essence of Socialism was and presumably remains the denunciation of Private Property, which remains central to Economic Growth and Prosperity. Ethics of Capitalism cannot institute free-thinking individuals, but it can furthermore help them to encourage their mind and follow the goals they have and ambitions that they attain.
