Why is it okay for capitalism to be forced on others, but not socialism?

TLDR: police don't let u steal=capitalism. police steal from you=socialism.

socialism is the government controlling the means of production and wealth distribution. capitalism is the absence of this. 1/n...

so the capitalism isn't forced... it is the absence of force based on the idea that property rights are sacred. 3/n

You're already wrong, in no definition of socialism is the government supposed to own the means of production.

There is no God hence there is no kingdom therefore the rich man has no consequences bc religion always has been an organization to control.

Well, "no consequences" until you push the populace into full on rebellion and the extrajudicial executions start. Which is admittedly rare.
