None of these social approaches by themselves work - at all. It is always a mix of the methods and philosophes.
Unbridled capitalism must have the socialism of roads and fire departments.
Communisum fails without some of the free market of capitalism.
This country MUST have a good and balanced mix - it's right, proper, American, and unlike my brother in law, it will work.
Roads and fire departments are socialist?
LOL!
Capitalism is about the economics of a country.
Centralized governments that provide roads, govern laws, and coordinate defense does not diminish this fact.
You seem to think that capitalism = zero taxes, zero government.
That's hogwash.
Roads and public services is not what defines socialism.
The lines can become blurred in relation to range and scope (education and healthcare being in the forefront), but infrastructure and protection are neither exclusive nor inclusive of any economic system.
Not by definition, and not by intent.
