People think that America is a capitalist society, but it's actually a socialist-capitalist hybrid (like most Western democracies). A purely capitalist society would be a living hell-hole, and so would a purely socialist society. Capitalist-minded people say that government and regulations are evil (so they've convinced the plebs that less government protection and regulation somehow benefits them). In reality, they want government protections to fall so they can milk you for profit, while raping the environment that you depend on to survive.

How the government determines the law or the appropriation of funds is not really relevant. In a pure monarchy, the king/ruling class determines both -- but whatever the government controls are essentially socialist, by definition. A capitalist (purely libertarian) society would crumble within years, and in my opinion probably couldn't form to begin with. Libertarians latch onto an existing society and then says, 'Why do you need government? Lets defund the government and deregulate everything!'
While pure socialism is essentially communism, pure capitalism doesn't even get that far in success or functionality.

You're projecting.
The ugliness is on the left. You're crazies REALLY think Trump supporters are Nazis. And what does one do with Nazis? Your first guess doesn't count. It's gone down the Memory Hole, but we've already had a mass assassination attempt on congressional republicans by a far lefty.

Stop with this nonsense.
Here's the deal - when you have to single out one fringe extremist and try to extend that to an entire group of millions, you have instantly lost the argument.
And the ugliness is not all on the left. Antifa is all you have there. I have Trump's entire campaign and the way he governs, and the way his minions fawn over all of it - hate, division, pitting groups against one another, fear-mongering.
You live in a bubble of extreme denial on that. Extreme.

Any intelligent observer knows there is no pure Capitalism or Socialism or even Communism. All nations, in practice fall among a continuum.
Well, our government functioned quite capably with economic liberalism for a very long time, until about 1913. Anyway, you are mixing-up economic and political philosophy, which is usually only something I have to deal with coming from Iolo, given that the idiot is a Marxist.

This is an excellent rejoinder except that it's baloney.
Did I say there were millions of crazies? What I said was that there are people on the left who actually believe that Trump supporters are Nazis. And if the right had an Antifa you and your minions in the media would be harping on it, constantly.
But you've been reduced to chasing the ghosts of Klansmen. Pretty pathetic, actually.

Economic liberalism is closer to describing the politics of actually managing an economy. A tighter, more leftist approach, still describes a capitalist economy. You are pretending that capitalism only can exist in an anarchist, or nearly governmentally dissolved society.
