To further clarify, most European countries have capitalist economies with socialist governance. And it's a great balance!

On the one hand, companies do their best to make products, compete and profit. Within regulations. But there is huge potential for abuse and growing iniquity.

On the other hand, you have a government that (theoretically) is looking after the needs of the population at large and, through taxation (which is theft either way, but let's not digress), regulation and social programs, balances out the tendency of capitalism to steal all the wealth created and put it in the pockets of a select few.

For decades, this has worked perfectly in most of Europe, Canada, and many other nations. However, as we all know, (((they))) seek to destroy us and infiltrated themselves everywhere, and now governments are the puppets of the super-rich, which (((they))) control, and as such, this system has broken down.

For many decades, life was better in most every country built on this capitalist / moderate socialism model than those adopting anything else.

I have no beef with regulated capitalism, but many people do much much worse in the name of socialism and call themselves socialist as such. Maybe you should tell them they are using that word incorrectly.

Many people do many evil things in the name of good things. What's that got to do with anything. Words have a definition. If online dictionaries are falling prey to some orwellian scheme to distort and brainwash, that should be something that concerns EVERYBODY.
