⚖️ Capitalism vs Socialism: The 2025 Reality Check
Capitalism promises freedom through markets — but delivers inequality, precarity, and corporate dominance. Socialism offers collective ownership and democratic control — aiming for fairness, security, and shared prosperity.
- Capitalist outcomes: 5 billionaires own more wealth than half the world; UK renters spend 44% of income on housing.
- Socialist outcomes: Norway’s oil fund gives every citizen £240,000; Cuba’s life expectancy matches the US despite sanctions.
🌍 Norway’s Oil Fund: £240,000 Per Citizen
Norway’s sovereign wealth fund has surpassed £1.6 trillion, meaning every Norwegian now effectively holds over £240,000 in national oil wealth. This is the result of decades of disciplined investment and public ownership of oil revenues.
