People tend to use words like capitalist or socialist as fighting words without going to specifics. Somebody calling themselves socialist or capitalist tells very little about them.

As an example two countries often called capitalist ad socialist in the US.

United States: Mixed market economy (public sector 18%) leaning towards private ownership and business capitalism. Is pro business over pro markets (business interest over functioning markets).

Sweden: Mixed market economy (public sector 30%) leaning towards welfare state and Nordic model. Is pro markets over pro business.

Most socialists in the US want to move towards "Socialism" as it exists in Sweden today or in the Untied States in the 50s and 60s.

The word "health" occurs precisely once in this article, and only in the context of encouraging job mobility. Not health care for all to end the obscenity known as "medical debt". Not health care for all to enable early detection of preventable illnesses and thus improve quality of life for those who aren't wealthy. Not health care for all to stamp out communicable diseases before they get a foothold in tight-knit poor communities.

No, just some tax subsidies to allow for easier HR headhunting.

I was once a capitalist. Then I saw how it worked. Accounting graduate. Interned and offered a permanent job at a Big Four. Drank the koolaid. Then 2008 happened, and the scales fell from my eyes. Capitalism's "growth for the sake of growth" ideology is the ideology of a cancer cell.

Paywalled - can't read. Even on http://outline.com

Can people please not link wholly paywalled stuff? Nytimes is such a tease with how frequently they're linked to how tight they are on monetizing access to every single link(not even a free limit per ip). Worse than scientificAmerican

for all practical purposes Monopoly = Socialism.
