Extremes of both are undesirable. The stock market as shown is quite unstable and collectivism leads to gradual decline or no growth economy. Mr. Griffin might be wrong on the 'isms' but he is right on the money on the Creature from Jekyll Island. Maybe the 'Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde' was actually a warning. Wall Street is two-faced. There is the suave Dr. Jekyll and then there is the hideous Mr. Hyde as shown in the 1929 Stock Market Crash and the 2007 Recession (would have been a crash equal to 1929 if the U.S. Government didn't step in).
I hate it when people try to frame things as a choice between stalinism and cowboy capitalism. It's been repeatedly shown in countries like Sweden and Germany that the economy works well if you have a combination of regulated free enterprise and direct government involvement in essential services such as education, health care and utilities.
