Entrepreneurship IS that thing entrepreneurs like doing. Building a business, creating an empire, becoming leaders, etc. I think in fact it is the workforce who often fail to follow their dreams (few people want to be accountants). Entrepreneurship isn't chasing money, its a passion. Those without a passion will not survive in the business world - imagine losing your life savings several times before you turn 18! Too hard for most people to bear.

True, security (or sleep at night factor) is important. It is part of humans to want security. Those few who prefer achievement to security often become our leaders (people like Hitler, Stalin, Clinton, all risked a LOT to become leaders, and especially Stalin who avoided assassination dozens of times).

Anything that is done by the majority is conformism. Conformity isn't positive or negative. Leaders need conformity, as do confirmists need leaders.

One of the schemes useful could be teaching entrepreneurial skills to members of society, especially humanitarian/social workers. The base of entrepreneurship is simply creativity and determination. In fact I can say its got nothing to do with capitalism or politics - a cavemen who finds a better way to hunt is as much of an entrepreneur as Richard Branson.

Ultimately some people choose to become leaders/entrepreneurs, while others choose to become followers/workers. Its all about the human mind, and something we can't alter whether we have capitalist/communist/fascist governments. Somebody will rise above the ranks to lead.

Obviously, the leaders need followers, and vice versa. We're really just animals with bigger brains.

Ideological loyalty is the act of giving your soul to a vague concept, to be manipulated by people smarter than you.
