 Most think too plainly 

Ideas:

Socialist society = has plan in place everyone is focused on said plan therefore we must have plan

Capitalist society = no plan at all ERMAAHGAWD everyone is running around doing whatever the hell the want!! the travesty , the horror, think abkut the children!! 

Reality 

Socialist society: forced into the plan the someone else came up with even when you think the plan is stupid and not going to work you must be a good little slave and chig along for " the good of society" 

Capitalist society: many plans all at once; everyone takes care of their own problems by their own accord without forcing anyone else to participate in their ideas, mutally aligned plans consolidate without coercion
