It's not an accident. Both big-C capitalism and socialism are the rule of the strong over the weak. They are tyrannical, where "tyranny" means rule for private self-interest instead of the common good. In a society that makes self-interest the highest and only principle of the land, the result will always be that the strong will, out of self-interest, come to dominate and use the weak for private gain. Hierarchy, rather than becoming a structure by which the common good is secured and by which each person can play their part, becomes a structure of domination and exploitation. Socialism is the terminus of individualistic capitalistic error, consummated in the grotesque error of egalitarianism. Your society is effectively made the supreme corporation.

We should want subsidiary and solidarity.
