You're sending a message from a govt school (socialism) over a partly govt communications media (partly socialist) after, probably, driving over govt roads (socialism). The Federal Register, a list of Federal (only) economic regulations (fascism), is over 12K pages long. The US has not even been close to capitalism since around the late 19th century. Even the US Consstution is partly socialist (post office, roads) and fascist (power to regulate interstate commerce. I do note,however, that regardless of the long-term growth of govt, the shrinking capitalist part of the economy is blamed for all problems. The implication is that even 99% socialism/fascism is "really" capitalism! Well, if toothbrushes are privately owned and unregulated, then, by what passes for reasoning, there will never be socialism. ------------------
