    Yes, some more, some less. Generally, conservatives, and especially libertarians, advocate less, while liberals advocate more.

    Neither - Balance is best. Wealth inequality and Trump are currently turning us into a plutocracy not unlike Russia.

    You don't balance success with failure and hope to achieve anything. You abandon the one for the other.

    Not sure the relevance of the rest of your post.

    Those things you list have nothing to do with the topic, the success of capitalism.
    You are the one who brought "liberals" into the discussion.

    Your laundry list still has nothing to do with the topic. Try to address is honestly.

    Your peculiar definition of socialism is straight from "Alice in Wonderland".

    "QUOTATION: “When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, “itmeans just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less.” “The question is,” said Alice, “whether you can make words mean so many different things.” ...

    News: Rich people paying rich people to tell middle class people to blame poor people.

    They say a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, but it's not one half so bad as a lot of ignorance.
