Those free market ideas are yours when you advocate for them.

You continue to pump your ideas, web pages and stories that are consistent and persistent but to my mind wrong. Your inquiring mind seems only interested in ideas that confirm your beliefs. You ridiculed me and called me ignorant when I disagreed with you. That discourages further discussion.

Capitalism vs. Socialism is a false dichotomy. No country anywhere on the planet is Free Market Capitalistic or full blown Socialist. Everyone of them is some hybrid. Even the most ardent socialist were not able to prevent capitalism within their borders and every government has implemented some market controls. There is no free market anywhere, lacking government controls, oligarchs and monopolists implement their own market controls.

Meaningful discussions can only take place regarding specific areas of government control not generalized. The government will control some things either nationally, by state or locally. Who, what, where and how is worth discussing. Not whether we should be Capitalistic or Socialistic.

I am going to stop this discussion here as it only gives your work attention I don't think it deserves.
