Tornado Alley (PROG)

dbergh, Update: Ranking sites aside, i'd say your USA, at least under Trump, could fairly be classed as the capitalist country with the least empathy for minorities.

Like i said your psychological fix, umm, guessing because we are not into subsidization as much as you are Australia is listed, in this one .. https://www.globalcitizensolutions.com/most-capitalist-countries/#top-10-most-capitalist-countries .. as being more capitalist than your USA.

I'd tend to disagree because we have a much better health system in which a majority of Australians can see a GP for free ..

We also don't subsidise our farmers nearly as much as you do ..

though i guess that's one reason why we could be ranked as more capitalist.

Whatever, it seems our two countries are relatively close on any capitalism - socialism scale.

We do have a more comprehensive safety net.

Bottom line, as i said and as brooklyn13 rightly agreed with, you do have a detrimental wrongheaded psychological fix against socialism.

PS: Hmm, here your country is down to #16 ..
