You do have a choice though - move OS somewhere that suits your "values".
Where did I say I'm a communist? Why would I support a communist state when they always end up dictatorships?

Problem with you lot is you relate the two all the time.
You have a choice, plenty of places to live in with less socialism that you could move to. I like it here and don't bow to nth degree capitalism you'd get if you removed all government oversight, protections, infrastructure etc.

Government regulations prevent capitalism running out of control, so a balance with socialism is good, so socialism is not a evil word IMO.

Without government intervention you'd all be out of a job, if everything was privatised capitalism to the nth degree where's the profit in a defence force anyway? Plus many jobs moved overseas and say hello to your new king Xi Jinping because China has a cheap labour force and lots of cheap goods that capitalists just love.
