Capitalism & Socialism

Capitalism and socialism represent two political and economic systems absolutely distinct. To better situate these two elements, we have to until the point in time when the dismantling of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics - the USSR, or simply Soviet Union - in the world, there is a clear division between two sides of a capitalism, mainly represented the United States; the other, the USSR itself, with Socialist orientation. Around these two poles were related other territories, with affinities with either one or the other.

In general, socialism tends to be represented by a desire for collective control of the means of production, plus a centralizing state of these relations. In relation to capitalism, the goal of the initiatives that compete in the market is profit and capital accumulation.
