Socialism: Everyone brings a dish to pass. Everyone gets the same portion of adequate food. Nobody gets enough to get full and nobody gets to decide what they get served. Mom decides. You can't be trusted to make that decision.
Communism: Everyone is forced to bring a dish. Mother now owns all the food, the bowls, the spoons and your labor. You will eat what you get served and you will offer accolades and platitudes to Mother. You should be grateful Mom doesn't chain you up in the cellar.
Capitalism: Everyone brings a dish to pass. You take what you want, leave what you don't. Some get drunk. Some want to air old grievances. Some are greedy and selfish, but most aren't. Some go home early. Some stay too long. But you aren't forced to come, nor stay.
