Although jordan peterson is brilliant, and makes a good point, capitalism and socialism are practically identical. They're about as different as coke vs pepsi, both of which are good only for cleaning old pennies.
In both capitalism and socialism, you have paper money to represent real goods.
You have interest on that money (interest is seen as evil by most religions in past times).
And in both systems, people in power can control interest rates as part of their tools for societal control.
And both systems depend heavily on lending and borrowing money, and the interest that it "generates"
Essentially, both are slightly different systems by which people who don't create any physical value can manipulate numbers and gain power over people that do real work.
The main difference is that in socialism, the overlords are the governments and corporations, and in capitalism, the controllers are the corporations and the governments.
It would be much better if we dumped out the coke AND pepsi, and brewed a nice warm tea from our own garden herbs

Very sharp daggers.
