Actually, every single country on earth has a mixture of capitalism and socialism, including the US, China, and even...Venezuela.
See, this is a bit too complicated for our Trumpers to truly understand. It's never either-or. Capitalism goes on in primarily socialist countries. Socialism goes on in primarily capitalist countries. That will always be the case.
What Western Europe actually has is social democracy within a capitalist framework. The US has capitalism with elements of social democracy. But stating the situation like that moves beyond the comprehension of our Trumpers.
What's hilarious is that they object so strenuously to socialism and don't even know what socialism IS! That's manifestly obvious from their posts.
