Like the OP said, there is no pure Democracy/Capitalism or Socialist Republic. They are all blends, just like there was never a pure Communism. There are workable Communist societies like China and Vietnam and oppressive ones like North Korea. It's corruption and big money that infiltrates all of these systems. It comes down to greed for money or power and usually both.
It is possible to have Capitalism and minimize the income disparity that usually results. It just requires the right tax system and government regulations. Rich people always want to keep their money, even if it is more than they and their children can spend in a lifetime. There will always be ignorant people that cannot be educated to do technical jobs. There will always be people caught in unfortunate situations. The government needs to provide a safety net for those people. The government needs to provide training in the trades for those that cannot achieve a college degree.
This is precisely why we need big government and high taxes on the top 1%. Income disparity is what tears a country apart and eventually causes civil war. We need big government to prevent income disparity and large parts of the population being impoverished. More and more of this will occur as menial jobs are automated.
This is why the Trump/GOP tax breaks for the rich are exactly the WRONG thing to be doing.
Sooooo, you consider the murder of 100 million people during the Cultural Revolution to be "workable". Is that correct?
What I would like to ask you Billy is what part of our socialist country is working well? Medicare? VA? Social Security, HUD, what????
They are all either going broke or crushing budgets to keep them alive. It's like what Margret Thatcher once said, Socialism is a great form of governance until you run out of other people's money.
But these people are so happy? Well, I'm sure some are. If you rob Peter to pay Paul, the Paul's of your society generally have no objection.
Which commandments?Ten simple Commandments from a God, not Moral enough for You, Right Wingers? Hang out with Right Wing bakers, much.
Forced charity is not a form of caring either.simply gambling for more customers is not a form of caring.
Wow, anyone with an average, or even lower level of intelligence, would disagree with you. Your response is not an example of willful ignorance, it's either a lie or you are truly dumb.
Which is why life is short for beasts and not for humans who do help each other.
Elemental.

Somebody had to acquire and sell them that Rembrandt. How many people did that 1% employ to both build and to currently run the yacht the 1% purchased and frequently uses.Tax the top 1% and all of these problems go away. These people have more than enough money anyway. One less Rembrandt to bid on at Sothebys. so what??
it isn't stealing if you are complaining we have problems.Which commandments?Ten simple Commandments from a God, not Moral enough for You, Right Wingers? Hang out with Right Wing bakers, much.
Thou shalt not steal?
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbors ox, ass, wife, stuff.?
it does solve the problem. unlike capitalism.Forced charity is not a form of caring either.simply gambling for more customers is not a form of caring.

They are happy because all of the things that are threats to their success and happiness are removed. No worry's mate.

Irrelevant to the current situation in China.
You consider murdering tens of thousands of blacks in the south in the US "workable"?
You consider doing chemical agent and radiation experiments on the encarcerated in the US "workable"?
You consider imprisoning tens of thousands of Japanese immigrants during WWII " workable:?
Both countries have moved on.
Wrong!Socialism is a very broad term. To simplify the definition, it is a concept that involves the people funding (tax revenue) and owning (utilizing) government services. This is why every nation on earth - including the US - has a socialist backbone. Any service the government provides that’s funded by tax revenue and is utilized by the people is socialism.
Give me ONE SINGLE example of it fixing the “problem.” ONE.it does solve the problem. unlike capitalism.Forced charity is not a form of caring either.simply gambling for more customers is not a form of caring.
Libya was socialist success story. When the vast majority of a country's revenue is from crude oil exports, it makes sense to nationalize the oil industry and distribute the profits among the citizenry.Who is cherry picking?
All of them fail
Government IS socialism. The Romans Proved, Government solves problems, not the private sector.Give me ONE SINGLE example of it fixing the “problem.” ONE.it does solve the problem. unlike capitalism.Forced charity is not a form of caring either.simply gambling for more customers is not a form of caring.
Socialism has NEVER and will never solve the alleged problem.
