[QUOTE="JL 0513, post: 3583284, member: 50088"] You are thinking of capitalism as simply an economic system by itself. Most countries don't operate in a black and white system. The US has many socialist government programs but is still a capitalists society. Socialist countries still have open markets using capitalism. Any form of market trade is by definition capitalism. A farmer who owns a cow, even in a country that is largely socialist, still capitalizes from the milk produced and later the meat. There's no country where the government owns and controls the means of ALL production, unless I'm mistaken. A country such as North Korea might be close. You need to understand what the term capitalism means, not just the broader economic systems. [/QUOTE]
