There seem to be this problem I am having communicating a form of Mutualism or Socialism (or whatever you people call it because it is confusing as shit and I wish there wasn't similar names and what is and what is not socialism) and for some reason not highlighting the benefit of it.

Because it seems that economics to the unsophisticated masses economics = making money.

And for some reason capitalism in a group but still individualistic and profit orientated in goals = Lots money for everybody = Improved living conditions for everybody

So if I mention cooperative economics to somebody and say lets have common public ownership people tend to look at me like I am an alien.

For some reason people do not see the difference between partnership capitalism where you get about 10 people together and create a business and cooperative economics.

There must be a way around this disconnect of individualistic profit-orientated capitalism and common ownership for the benefit of the population.

Also, how do you explain what Communism and Socialism and Capitalism is to people in layman's terms so they get it?

As far as I see it, it is futile to explain to people something, unless they come to search it out for themselves. Otherwise it is pretty pointless. So the other options is to get in power and implement what you think is best for society. Yet one has to be responsible and really know what he or she is going to be implementing will actually lead to a good outcome.
