It seems that you believe corruption of the individual the is the primary weakness of socialism that requires micromanaged and unaddressed intervention as the largest compromise. Opposed to the similar issue in capitalism of the requirement for state intervention and regulation of bad actors in the open market. When either system shows its ineptitude, you suffer from an issue of rot from within, while I suffer a projection of rot onto all, or rather the most vulnerable.

Our primary juxtaposition is that I do not believe any one organization is capable of managing the true complexity of the world without oversimplification and that ultimately leads to stagnation and failures like famines and resource shortages. I also believe the authoritarian system that fails to effectively address cronyism always leads to monarchy-like strong men wearing a façade of community-ism. Stalin was wholly unable to adapt to the shift to venture capital in silicon valley and the digital age. China adapted well to a much more hybrid model with open market autonomy. The USA has adopted some socialist elements as well. Both are not perfect. Indeed the U.S. system is failing me drastically in the present.

Personally, I don’t believe in either and see them both as massive oversimplifications of complexity. There are many aspects of the market that should be entirely socialist in nature, such as utilities, education, academia, fundamental housing, base infrastructure, and the setting of standards. What should not be socialist are food, consumer goods, or industrial production. These must be adaptable to open market change. At the core of this is food. No one can dominate food and manage it better than the market itself. Every farmer knows their fields better than some bureaucratic individual or institution. Oversimplification and individual corruption in this supply chain is to murder millions. Those millions are a demand, and free entrepreneurial individuals can always meet that demand so long as no one is motivated to stop them. That is not idealist, it is empirical from results not excuses. This is the trust that I will not give. Trust in the ability of bureaucratic management of food production results in famines and death of many of the sake peripheral groups that are oppressed and exploited by bad actors within capitalism.

Where you point at trust and corruption at the larger scales of business, I point at the inherent corruption of every individual. Neither system is perfect or completely addresses all of the problems. Personally, I think we should all accept our complicated realities and stop all talk of oversimplified systems in order to move forward into a world where we try to do what is best for the global community and all the way down to our neighborhood and families living under the same roof.
