capitalism obfuscates God & nature's system of violent competition into a game of maths and labor

socialism returns competition to physical violence. but socialists say "nuh uh there will be no violence! because we killed God & nature!"

Conviction is an emergent property forged in the fires of skepticism and tempered with the pursuit of knowledge.

this is an interesting source of skepticism. certainly not what I might expect!

Ironically, it can also be borne of naivette and foolhardy obduracy,

yes, i think this is a likely source of conviction, but also life experience.

but i believe there really should be another word for that, so as to delineate the two.

there really should be. such a mix of unseemly sounds, drags itself off the tongue liek a gouttonous two-legged rat from a middens.

Smartness left latent, and unutilized is what, exactly? Wasted potential?

i think that is a fair characterization. wasted or not though, it is not universally available.

I'll give it a go, but I think it is pretty good the way it is.

capitalism dillutes the severity of life by limiting aggressive acts to a cerebral playfield. socialism offers no alternative arena, so man returns to nature.

did I tone it down enough, or did I go too low?

It lost its edginess and just made socialism sound boring.

Maybe get something in there about mans violent nature being a driving motive force for socialism?

I would suggest analyzing the impetus behind each. The capitalist is driven by reward for efforts spent, where as the socialist is driven by a much baser set of motivating forces usually envy. Churchill did quite a bit of delineating between socialism and liberalism, perhaps start there.
