  1.  @Zack-Strife  No capitalist country is a pure capitalism. Like every other "ism" people realized down the line that "the great thinkers" weren't exactly practically minded people who had experience with everything. So the whole "the market will always balance itself" is of cause as much BS as "the classless society". And hence every capitalist country has implemented anti-monopoly regulation as well as strict laws on a laundry list of item categories because unchecked greed/ruthlessness may "balance itself" given a long enough time frame.. but we sure as hell don't want to live with it long enough to find out. Furthermore most capitalist countries subsidises things that are viewed as essential but not profitable enough and/or nationalise things that are deemed to be too important to let any kind of greed fuck it up (like healthcare or education).
