It's amazing how easily manipulated most people are.
Just tell them the free market can solve their problems
and they want to go all in, deaf dumb and blind as fuck.
Tell them socialism will steal their freedom, and they'll buy it, lol

Except there are no free markets anywhere, except the labor market where each worker is pit against every other worker (within a geographical and sphere of activity zone) for who will do the most for least. Which is why capitalism ABSOLUTELY NEEDS a good dose of Socialism along with it, to regulate its excesses. Scandinavia, France, the UK, Canada, Germany and many other Western nations have done very well with a moderate socialist-capitalist system.

Yes yes, there is absolutely nothing between 100% free market and socialism.

Brainlet.
