You also left out the most important false assumption of socialism--that human beings are inherently good and generally sacrifice for each other for the common good.
Democratic Capitalism works from the opposite assumption -- people are inherently selfish. That is why people need to build systems with checks and balances seek to channel self-seeking and greed into resources that benefit both society as a whole and the individual.

It denies the basic human desire to excell -
to do better, work harder for greater benefits is how we excell.
It's true in sports and in life.
And that's a good thing.
We do not progress by trying to make everyone equal.
We are not all created equal - thinking we are looked good on paper too - but it isn't the case.
Some people are going to fail - it's been that way since we lived in caves - the strong shall survive - you know.... it's the nature of the beast.
