I didn't say VS, I said a tug of war. Meaning they pull at each other, and play with each other well. Growth and government stability via policy, keeping each other in balance. Too much socialism leads to a central authority with too much power, too much capitalism leads to monopolies with too much power. And yes there is more than capitalism and socialism. But the author was OP was focused on growth and socialist policies.
I don't know any socialists that want to completely disassemble capitalism. I do know several capitalists that want to completely disassemble socialism, or at least greviously wound it at any opportunity.
