Was this a sarcasm?

No. Not in the least sister.
I think both were correct as capitalism, as in free markets are good, democracy in terms of meritocracy is good, and socialism in terms of community cohesion is good.
Conversely, capitalism as a facilitator of fractional reserve banking is bad, democracy in terms of rule of man over God is bad, and socialism in terms of enlarged oppressive state beauracracies is bad.
Both views were correct, from their viewpoints?
Even in the madhab, opposite opinions can be correct.
The prophet said to his companions dont pray Asar till you get to a certain town.
One group said it means get to the town fast, so that you reach there before Asar, so they prayed Asar in the town
The other group said it means dont miss Asar if you havent reached the town, so they prayed outside the town.
They asked the prophet when they got back to madina, he was silent on the matter, giving approval to both.
Opposite opinons both were correct? You do have a point there sister.
