We want them both at the same time. We want to be winners, but we imagine that if we were, we would be fair, thereby creating a utopia.
People associate those words with their fantasies, not with the ideological tenets that actually define them.
The way should be socialism and collective help for the poor, free market capitalism and taking risks for the rich. The point is, the more you have, the less the system should help you. In many places, it's the other way around.
Socialism isn't public safety nets. You're referring to Social Democracy, ie Capitalism with strong safety nets, not collective ownership of the Means of Production.
