∙ 8y agoAnswer 1Capitalists, defined as the class of people who derive their income primarily through owning shares in productive enterprises and live off of profit, interest or rent as opposed to working for a salary, wage or commission.
In a capitalist society, capitalists are the minority who constitute the "ruling class". They are the ruling class because their interests, directly or indirectly, influence public policy and the direction of society as a whole.
Capitalists may include venture capitalists, large investors, shareholders who derive most of their income through owning shares in corporations, and upper-level management who receive a share of profits alongside their salary.
This group opposes socialism because socialism would eliminate the need for their existence: private ownership over large-scale production and distribution would be replaced by public ownership or collective ownership, so the profits generated would go to benefit all of society or the public.
Answer 2
Fascists are the group most hostile to socialism.

- Fascists opposed socialism because socialism was less business family, anti-nationalist, and leaned closer to pacifism than jingoism.
- Stalinist Communists opposed socialism because socialism included several pro-capitalist and pro-democratic elements that threatened to undermine the state planning and authoritarian elements of communism.
