The correct answer to this open question is the following.

What Richard Tobin meant by his statement, "The veneer of civilization has dropped away," is the following.

British official Richard Tobin was talking about the terrible war in the trenches during World War I.

What he meant was that when soldiers fought in the trenches, that was the jungle, like animals fighting trying to survive.

To better comprehend this idea we have to say that in those years of World War I, the zone between trenched was known as "No man's land," meaning that in order to survive, everything was possible. And the fight was cruel, bringing the worst out of humans. And in that time, if the army wanted to occupy the enemy's position, the only way was through breaking into the enemy's trenches. Soldiers did not though or reason, they just reacted and attacked, like in the jungle. It was only a matter of survival.

Identify a main difference between socialism and capitialism
maksim [4K]

A major difference between socialism and capitalism resides in how likely meritocracy is to flourish .

Socialism, in its rightest essence, would ensure that every individual within society enjoyed the same opportunities at the core (quality health, food, education). Naturally, some of these subjects would thrive more than others and therefore be promoted by society to hold higher levels of responsability and reward.  

However, the lesser gifted would never be at a disadvantage. They could still count on standard quality support by the same society and equal opportunity for their offspring to pursue their own ambitions.

On the contrary, capitalism creates a societal gap by supporting inherited advantage. In summary, a capitalist society provides better core opportunities for a group of citizens and their offspring regardless of their innate ambitions. The disadvataged group and their offspring then receive a less than standard core support which predisposes them for hardship in the pursue of societal reward.
