Not at all, kid. Those are merely the welfare state programs that accompany capitalism in every instance where capitalism is found. The welfare state is the flotsam and jetsom of a capitalist economy - one of the many facets of capitalism.

But you girls INSIST that socialized medicine, socialized higher education, proper regulation of corporations - that these make European nations "socialist." Google the words "hoist" and "petard," ignoramus.

Just try to be with it, son: the dictionary says that socialism is state owvership of the means of production - which makes you and Heritage liars about Singapore being capitalist. We don't go to Heritage for definitions, Devry. We go to the dictionary.
