    Socialists and Capitalists both think you shouldn’t be able to freeload off the back of other people’s work. They only disagree on who exactly it is that’s doing the freeloading.

      The whole point of capitalism is that the capitalist doesn’t have to do any real work. They have employees who work, and they just sit around and look smart, doing nothing.

      (Also, it tends to come up a lot in these types of discussions, but commerce is different from capitalism.)
