"Anything, including the concept of capitalism, can be taken to an extreme and be capable of great evils if unbridled."

Yes, "anything".

Socialist ideology, like so many others, has two main dangers. One stems from confused and incomplete readings of foreign texts, and the other from the arrogance and hidden rage of those who, in order to climb up in the world, pretend to be frantic defenders of the helpless so as to have shoulders on which to stand.
