text: Massive socialism works well within communistic regimes . Socialism provides opportunity to individuals within the masses to advance themselves in their shift towards capitalism. As such the capitalism  movement within acts as a catalyst for movement towards democracy. Minor socialism within democracy is good provided those receiving it    use it as a catalyst  to improve themselves and their lot in life. Socialism which is perceived as an long term gift with no obligation to improve facilitates laziness/ dependence ....it is the drug of complacency. A drugged democracy ultimately erodes to communism . Capitalism funds socialism $ wise and socialism hopefully generates capitalists thereby increasing the consumers of materials. Well balanced, they are synergistic... unbalanced (as they are in Canada) causes the capitalists to withdraw their funding.
