Dear Ben,

“The basic philosophy of socialism is ingraining in someone their “rights” and everyone else’s obligations towards them.”

This sounds like ‘bill of rights’ socialism, and may have been in the mind of FDR. (More likely that he viewed it as socialist, and not socialism.) It has been revived very recently. (Like this decade or last.)It is not at all basic to the philosophy of socialism.

“While Capitalism teaches you the obligations you have.”

Please explain. I never understood these socio-economic philosophies as educational.
