I love that instead of considering the possibility of a few worker protections you just assume that the only other option is full-on USSR.

Well, if someone says a bad thing happens because of capitalism isn't it logical to assume that they are implying the same bad thing wouldn't happen under socialism?

Isn’t it logical to assume that there are more than two extremist options? Or do you just assume that anything not far-right must be extremely socialist and therefore the devil?

I just asked basic questions. If the claim is that capitalism does not reward loyalty, does socialism? Is socialism more about morality or economic efficiency?
I actually agree with you. Extremism on either end gets us nowhere. My point isn't that capitalism rewards loyalty -- it's true, it often doesn't! But neither does socialism, at least as I understand it. So pointing to a undesirable thing and saying it's the fault of one system or another is ignorant and silly.
