Charles Edward Russell was a muckraking American who founded the NAACP, gave up on the corrupt Republican and Democratic parties, profoundly opposed communism (he particularly despised Lenin), and branded his pooled trust/share the capitalistic wealth ideology as: Socialism. The pooled trusts envisioned by Russell were a means to maximize profits and distribute the revenue to the producers instead of the executives. His core ideology was to reduce the abusive concentration of wealth and power in the hands of the elite (aka, the 1%) and share the profits with the producers (aka, the 99%) thus raising the standard of living for all.

Russell had seen the pooled trust business model in the form of cooperatives succeed for farmers in his native Iowa, but he also watched as these small Iowa cooperatives were defeated by the powerful New York and Chicago railroads which used their monopoly powers to control the flow of agriculture to distant markets and thus skimmed all of the profits away from the farmers and their trusts. Russell keenly observed that monopolies and the resulting concentration of power were to blame for the low living standards, and often abject poverty, of producers.

Sponsored by Upton Sinclair, Russell joined the Socialist party and ran for Mayor, Governor, and U.S. Senator in New York. He almost ran for President, but he was rejected from the Socialist party in 1917 due to his outspoken support for U.S. intervention in Europe to help the Allies defeat Germany in World War I. At the time, many members of the Socialist party in the U.S. were either German immigrants or decedents of German immigrants who strongly opposed the war.

Do the economic ideals of capitalism abd socialism feel the same about war?

Capitalism and socialism have differing views on war, often reflecting their underlying economic ideologies. Capitalism, with its focus on competition and profit, may see war as a means to secure resources, markets, and geopolitical advantage, often leading to militaristic policies. In contrast, socialism tends to emphasize social welfare and collective ownership, viewing war as a failure of diplomacy and a detriment to societal well-being. While both ideologies may justify war under certain circumstances, their motivations and implications differ significantly.


How is the American economic system organized?

The government doesn't organize the economy. They can try and fiddle with it, but an economy is people interacting with each other. You should do some reading, because I feel you don't have a strong grasp of economics.

They do not have Capitalism, they have Communism. Communism may seem good but remember you have no voice in government, no ability to disagree with the government publicly, no freedom of the the press, and the worst part is, nothing to do with Capitalism or Communism, is that everything in China is very polluted and dirty in most parts.
