I love the way you presented this, Alex. I was a staunch capitalist business-minded person from a young age... until I faced the clash between my attitudes and Eastern upbringing. I knew capitalism offered a sensible and logical direction, but that so did the collectivism generally part of Eastern cultures. It was always a tug-of-war in my head and I wonder if humans will one day devise the system that survives human frailties.

Capitalism and communism are the flip sides of the same coin. Both in practice seem to evolve into mechanisms of state largesse with an exploitive and oppressive/coercive broad and deep control system over their populations. Tyranny.
