Are there any arguments in which there is no right or wrong?
For example, the debate between socialism and capitalism seems to be a debate between values of equality and values of individual freedom. Is it possible to say that because it is a debate about values, then there is no one who is wrong and right, but everyone is right? And perhaps this is actually what postmodernism is trying to claim about debates like there is no one who is wrong and right?

It is clear that there is right and wrong even in questions of value. The decision is not made with scientific tools, so what?
In principle, it is possible for a question to have two equivalent answers. Perhaps like do versus do in halacha (although it is generally debatable whether Sho’at is preferable). Or a baby is thrown into a place where half are Jews and half are Gentiles, regarding Torah study or Sabbath observance (which a Jew is obligated to do and a Gentile is forbidden to do).

Do you agree with the claim that values are actually doctrine. A set of opinions/facts/ideas.
If we break them down one by one, we will find that it is an argument and another argument.
Thus, to claim that socialism and capitalism are right, we mean: in some of the arguments (which are within the doctrine) yes and some no. Each respectively.
In conclusion, it is very logical that we find in examining the arguments/assumptions/facts, that one of them contains more justice. And therefore is the position worthy of implementation?
I don't understand these sentences. I wrote what I had to write, and I think it was clear.
