Socialism versus Capitalism, solved

As a democracy becomes larger and more complex voters rely increasingly on experts to figure out what is in their interest and for every expert there are 10 lobbyists posing as experts. As such there are limits to what can be decided "collectively" before corruption sets in, there is no fruit loop utopian vision that can simply wish away corruption and enable everything to be managed perfectly.

Thus it makes sense for socialists to think like capitalists, to recognise the limits of democracy and not overextend the limited administrative capital of voters, this would probably result in some kind of direct democratic system and strong local government taking care of welfare and public safety with otherwise unfettered capitalism everywhere else.

More incentives for teachers to say. Turnover rate in teaching is really high. Lots of people train to be teachers but don't stay teachers for long. Maybe better pay? Find it what teachers want, consider the feasibility of giving it to them and what you lose by not. 

We haven't got there because for many reasons but primarily because of "But that's the way we've always done it", lack of funding and faith schools.
