What characteristics do capitalism and socialism share?

Answer:
These ideologies are on opposite sides of the political spectrum the former being right wing and the latter being left wing. Suffice to say, they have almost NOTHING in common. The only possible similarity is that they both share egalitarian views, albeit in different senses of the word. Capitalists appeal to equal opportunity. Socialists appeal to equal outcome. But largely, you could not pick two more different ideologies.
