Most evolved society blends capitalism & socialism, honoring both individual freedom & care for the common good. Few countries (including ours: police and fire dept are essentially socialist) all one or the other. The market good at some things, public investment better at others

Not all capitalism does that. It is as unbalanced to demonize all capitalism as it is unbalanced to demonize all socialism. We have become way too sloppy with this conversation.

I think it started out as sloppy as it could get by labeling all social programs as socialist when you started.

“NoT aLl CaPiTaLiSm” Capitalism will always exploit the labor of the worker, that’s how it works.

True. There are non profit hostpitals for example, who are more concerned with providing quality care, creating a positive work environment and supporting their staff, then inflating returns for CEO'S and sharehoders.
