Capitalism vs Socialism vs our free enterprise system. What is your choice?

[Anti Federalist]

I didn't wade through all the comments but it seems a rather moot point.

We already live under socialism, by any objective standard.

The "debate" now is whether the new crop of Bolsheviks and Jacobins are going to get enough people to go along with them to the next level: authoritarian Marxism, with all the goodies that come with that: pogroms, genocides and gulags.

Right now it sure looks like it.

I get the distinct impression you despise and reject using “free” enterprise, and “free” market, to describe our system. Why?

Because we DO NOT in fact have a Free Market.. nor Free Enterprise. The Free part being missing..

For a very Long time..

I welcome the Free Market,, in the small and limited places it still exists.

Yup,, and have been my entire lifetime.. since about 1913 as best as I can tell,, though Lincoln and the Bankers War set the stage.

I am surprised that so many continue to pretend differently...

Institutionalized is my guess.

How about 'mixed economy' with some free stuff, some universal healthcare , some socialism.

Some free stuff is good, but more free stuff is better.
