You are somehow suggesting that human greed can eliminated by socialism...and that's just not true.

Again, you are seeing what you want to see. I am NOT saying that. I am saying that both capitalism and socialism must ignore some aspects of human nature in order to thrive. A society based purely on capitalism is just as harmful as one base purely on socialism.

A system which has a free market economy is not necessarily driven by avarice, greed, and the grab for power.

Again, I said in "a purely capitalistic" society not a free market society. YOU keep twisting what I say in your mind to try to defend something I am NOT attacking.

Define purely capitalistic society?

Capitalism is another word for free market economy (actually a derogatory term used by Marx and Engels to insult the free market system).

If you are using it another way, just let me know so we are on the same page.

BTW, sorry if I am somehow twisting what you are saying. I don’t mean to be doing that.
