For the Unemployed Over 50, Fears of Never Working Again

In the end it's this question:

Either you think we should have to earn a worthy living and to be treated with respect.

Or that we have the innate right to a worthy living and to be treated with respect.

What is it going to be: The law of the jungle or a more civilized world?

All civilization can be explained as "socialism": To be civil to each other, help the needy and not let the strongest take everything?

I agree. Socialism is preventing race to the bottom. Capitalism is promoting race to the top. We need both to build and sustain a great nation.

I tend to see capitalism as "father" and socialism as "mother"? You need to earn your fathers respect, but mother gives her unconditional love. Every child needs a little bit of both to grow up happily? One can make do without either one, but life is just so much better with both parents.
