gollark: But that's not necessarily a *good* dichotomy.

gollark: Well, if you split the entire possible space of economic systems into two areas, then yes, things go into those two areas.

gollark: Not that "communism", whichever definition of that (people disagree on them) you happen to mean, and "capitalism" (same thing) are the only two possible economic systems of course.

gollark: There are reasonable arguments for either.

gollark: Which one are you accusing of this? I can't actually tell.
