America is the most capitalist country in the world.
Lots of capitalist countries pick and choose from socialist policies that suit them.
“Inequality is especially rife in the United States, the richest country in the history of the world … and it’s only growing.
While worker productivity in the U.S. has increased 30 percent per hour over the last ten years, wages have not even kept up with the rate of inflation. At the same time, the rich continue to get a lot richer. The share of total income going to the richest 1 percent of the U.S. population has grown from 8 percent in 1980 to 16 percent in 2004. And while ten years ago CEOs earned 30 times as much as the average worker, today they earn around 300 times as much.
In the “land of opportunity,” 36 million people are poor by official standards, 43 million have no access to healthcare, and one of every five children lives in poverty.
Today, countless people are loosing their jobs and even their homes with no assistance forthcoming. Meanwhile, the government is bailing out huge banks with tax dollars taken from the very people that are most in need of help!
This is the face of capitalism, a system based on the exploitation of the majority by a small financial elite.”

well, we have a ridiculous service economy. actual industrial production has fallen in america over the decades. you have to ask the question about inflation. why is it so high? and how did the transfer of wealth come about. you can’t just blame capitalism solely. there are so many other factors to consider.
how many capitalist countries are there? and how do you arrive at the conclusion that america is the most capitalist?
would you call america capitalist?
it seems to me america has adopted several of those platforms. no?

maybe you should define capitalism first.
How can you call youself a capitalist if you don’t understand the meaning.
