Socialism has nothing to do with caring - Socialism is about state control and making decisions centrally that should in theory are better for the majority. Sadly the theory is not deliverable in practise or hasn't been anywhere as yet
Capitalism is about protecting investors so that wealth can be generated through good ideas that need seed capital. The biggest charitable donators are serial capitalists it how they have the wealth to give away. Capitalists know they have to engage the best people to drive wealth generation - they have to offer something that is better to secure them.
If everything is state owned there is no incentive which is why it doesn't work. It was no shock that we had a terrible transport network, a disaster of a car manufacturer, a telecoms provider that was so poor it took months to even get a phone installed etc. when everything was state owned - happy days!!
I know you think that wearing red underpants, sock and being to sing "keep the red flag flying" puts you on a higher moral plain - sadly that isn't borne out in anywhere apart from your tiny mind.

You, once again you only use extremes of socialism to make your point but, I've come to expect nothing else.
Capital am is the drive to make money at all costs, be they human or environmental. Those chasing the green dollar tend to care for.................... the dollar and not for the welfare of those who may be casualties along the way.
Of course, not ALL companies work in that way and if you go back in the history books, there are great examples of businessmen who ran huge empires AND looked after the welfare of their staff, John Cadbury, Titus Salt etc, who realised that if they looked after their workforce, everyone gained.
Sadly this ethos had largely disappeared and their modern day equivalents, tend to work on the theory that "if you dont want to work here, there are plenty of others that will and they have tried damned hard to trample over employment law and used strong arm tactics to bully their staff into submission.
You have to laugh, when you cite the railways as your example, which despite the derision of Corbyn, when he suggested taking the industry back into the public domain, the Tories are now "stealing" his policy, having given up on the idea of "the market" improving this particular industry.
Btw, you must tell me when I have ever advocated "everything" being state run.
