People often approach both
political and non-political philosophies in ways that are similar to
government. Someone who practices and spreads their beliefs in a capitalistic
way wants to compete with other worldviews and try to dominate them. However,
they may accept peers with other viewpoints as long as those people have
influence and can possibly do them favors.
Somebody who approaches their own
opinions in a more socialistic sense wants their standpoint to be communal, but
abides by others having their own views on an individual level. They just don't
want the ideologies which are diametrically opposed to theirs to have
overarching political/social influence.
A dictatorial approach to one’s
beliefs is more or less self-explanatory.
This isn’t about the actual belief in capitalism, socialism, or dictatorships. A supporter of socialism could express and relate to their views in a capitalistic way, or vice versa. And this doesn’t just pertain to political philosophies. It could be the way one chooses to look at and disseminate any of their perspectives. This is probably a major oversimplification of all of those ideas, and maybe I’m not informed enough about the structures of capitalism or socialism to make this an accurate metaphor. It was just a thought that occurred to me.
