Capitalism is a state of society where most wealth, both de jure and de facto, belongs to its citizens.
Communism is a Utopian state of society where all wealth, both de jure and de facto, belongs to a government.

It is often said that left-wingers and right-wingers do not understand each other because they "live in parallel universes," or one side blames another for living in the so-called "alternative reality."

Some extremely valid points.
