    Totally agree. I’m not trying to say terms should have no meaning but that the difficulty distinguishing the two can be pretty easy because of how similar they are.

      I agree that there are more similarities than differences, and in most tangible aspects two systems behave in a similar fashion. Both are fundamentally predicated on a small privileged class of people living off the backs of the working majority.
