The "capitalism <-> socialism" opposition seems outdated. I prefer to think in terms of "centralization vs decentralization". Humans have evolved to perform best in small groups of less than 150 people. That's why wherever there's centralization and excessive hierarchy, there's inefficiency and underutilized human potential. Capitalist monopolies and socialist dictatorships are equally bad.
In a natural environment, every small community is able to produce an outstanding leader and an independent thinker. In today's world of trillion-dollar monopolies and bloated governments, the potential of hundreds of millions of people is suppressed by the limitations imposed by our artificial societal structures.
That is the reason why tens of thousands of people working at big corporations such as Facebook have failed to keep up with what our small team at Telegram has been implementing. That’s also the reason why countries like Russia fail to generate and retain global brands in their jurisdictions. Genuine creativity is rare in organizations and societies built on excessive hierarchies and lack of personal autonomy.

"资本主义<->社会主义 "的对立似乎已经过时。我更愿意从 "集权与分权 "的角度来思考。人类在进化过程中，在150人以下的小团体中表现最好。这就是为什么凡是有集权和过度等级制度的地方，就会出现效率低下，人的潜力得不到充分的发挥。资本主义垄断和社会主义专制同样不好。
在自然环境中，每一个小社会都能够产生一个杰出的领导者和独立的思想家。在今天这个万亿美元垄断和政府臃肿的世界里，数以亿计的人的潜力被我们人为的社会结构所限制而被压抑。
这就是为什么在Facebook等大公司工作的数万人都跟不上我们Telegram小团队所实施的工作的原因。这也是为什么像俄罗斯这样的国家无法在其管辖范围内产生和保留全球品牌的原因。在建立在过度等级制度和缺乏个人自主权的组织和社会中，真正的创造力是罕见的。
