Socialism vs Capitalism Wars

     There's this ancient discussion of socialism vs capitalism. Each side claims that they have the solution to society's problems. But do they? In our world today, modern socialism is heavily controlled by the governments in each country. On the opposite end-of the scale; we have capitalism; which heavily favors freedom for and by the people. Perhaps, everyone is looking at this wrong. There are principles from both that are applicable to our society. Socialism is right that we ought to share among all as each have need. There are abundant examples of this in the Bible. Perhaps, if the people were more willing to give as each had need maybe the governments wouldn't have to waste their time dealing with helping the poor. But at the same-time the Bible encourages us to respect our government. But there were times in history that shows that even government itself isn't always perfect i.e. Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin. Then again, we have some capitalists that tend to believe that everyone should work for a living emphasizing education and experience above the ability to learn through exposure. Thus we have many rich people, a few middle class, and lots of poor people in the land. Perhaps there are ideas from both socialism and capitalism that should be implemented that we might have a balance in our society and to avoid a great distance between the rich, the middle class, and the poor to keep people humble. If we could ever implement, a system of work-first and share-second system ( the Biblical system ); we would transform this world into one with greater peace. But there are those, who will oppose this better system from God for the People; who wish to be good stewards of this Earth.
