Of course socialism is obviously a form of capitalism. For the record - Capitalism is where people pool their capital in order to do projects they can't do on their own. The same pooling of capital happens with socialism. The difference between socialism and capitalism is one is FORCED to participate under socialism - one has the freedom not to take part under capitalism - at least in free countries.
The biblical form of cooperation was also voluntary.
Both systems can be corrupt. And neither of them works well with out free enterprise.
The idea that there is a meaningful difference between the major parties is usually a symptom of falling for a false dilemma - you are either with them or against them. Both parties are part of a cartel-socialist system - bought by fortune 500 cartels to prevent competing with smaller companies. (you might look in to how many finish their careers in congress with multi millions they got from special investment opportunities - influence peddling) .What is missing is a level playing field - free enterprise.
The focus on the idea that the battle of the common man is between the Ds and the Rs is a way to keep you from seeing the greater corruption.
