lord the ESSAY I'm sorry 😂 but appreciate you reading it because most people are so determined to right instead of reading and looking things up, that it's damaging. These people just stop learning new things one day, forever, and it's weird

The issue I think is that they see each political ideology as separate parties when they are just definitions of methods.

A healthy society has a mixture of approaches to different sectors. As I said public roads , infrastructure, emergency services, military defence, banking, agriculture etc. these are all things that can only work with a universal pooling and redistribution (tax), it's not like you're gonna just pay for the sections of road you want to use lol. Some places put more into this than others and that's when they are deemed "socialist" places.

capitalism is needed for healthy competition which encourages growth, advancements, etc. private businesses would slump if it didn't matter how they performed if there was nonmonetary incentive.

Then you got things like authoritarianism which is when there is an extreme concentration of power and wealth at the expense of the majority, and dictatorship means when one individual has total and utter rule (doesn't have to be a bad thing if they dictator rules kindly but that never happens lol).

You got left and right leaning which is actually about where your priorities and beliefs are being it freedom and sharing for all, or a more rigid and traditional life. And those are different from socialism and capitalism because these are purely to describe the economic mechanics, not personal ideals.
