[QUOTE="Cow4ever"][QUOTE="htekemerald"]So that's pretty much capitalism right there. In a socialist economy consumer goods aren't controlled privately. How are services like police, firefighters, etc, capitalism when they're controlled and paid for by the gov't? I didn't say that. But a country isn't socialist just because those services are controlled by the government, cause then US would be socialistic. And I don't think you think that. In fact if nothing was controlled by the government it would be anarchy.Socialism over strait capitalism any day, that said Capitalism does have it's place.
Anything that is a mandatory service(Police, Healthcare, Military, Fire, Water, Hydro, Natural Gas, Roads, ect) Ought to be provided by the government. Most of these are natural monopolies anyways, thus it makes no sense to put a corporation in charge.
Services that provide consumer goods, and other non-essential services should be controlled privately.
