To be left is the way, if you care for the people, if you want to be fair and just, if you want to provide just enough for all.
To be right is the way, if you care for the money, if you want to exploit and dominate, if you want to provide all for only a few.
Capitalism cares for the money, socialism cares for the people. Socialism fails, if it has to compete with capitalism, because socialism is not after money, it is not after competition. Capitalism has to fight socialism, as it depends on growth. Growth on resources and consumers, to be found in the socialist system, after the capitalist system hits its own limits.
Socialism is a counterweight for capitalism. If it vanishes, capitalism runs hot and evolves into fascism. The former forced social markets of capitalism change into free capitalistic markets, destroying any social habits. All hard-won privileges are wound down and withdrawn.
The people are reduced to resources - human resources. They are used and treated like slaves, because there is no alternative (unattacked or uncrippled) system available. And the slaves turn asocial, fight each other and think they are responsible, because they don't understand their own system.
As long as we fail to limit the accumulation of money, all humane, social and caring systems, all democracy will fail again and again.
The capitalist forces win back all the terrain they lost with the invention of democracy and socialism.
They are competitive by default and they accumulate money to power to control, to lead us back into the dark ages.
We let money rule the world. That's the problem.
