    Every one of those four is a mixed economy with significant central economic planning and regulation. Without substantial oversight, capitalism tends to degrade into private monopolies with feudalistic tendencies over time. Like I said, it’s an idealistic system which looks great until actual people are involved. Then you have to either modify it past anything but a spiritual similarity, or drown in the neoliberal fountain.

      Every one of those four economies are democratic capitalist economies. What is mixed?

        central economic planning and regulation

        The fact that every successful “capitalist” economy is heavily regulated speaks to the efficacy of pure capitalism.

          There is no such thing as pure capitalism. If you’re talking about capitalism without regulations, that is called anarcho - capitalism and it doesn’t actually exist anywhere at the moment.

              I am giving you examples of perfectly functioning nations under capitalism, you’re replying one sentence nonsense. This conversation is over

                I am responding to your points with the same logic you initiated. You won’t acknowledge that you’re operating on a double standard where communism is a fundamentally idealistic and flawed whenever actually implemented, but it’s different for capitalism because reasons. This conversation never started.
