Your 'mixed economies' are merely capitalist countries that limit this capitalism with socialistic institutions to offer most people a cushion.
How can you not fucking see that there is no "balance" in that? Where exactly are you showing that "balance is extremely important"?
How could you find balance between an economic philosophy that takes private property as necessary and one that does not believe in private property?
Obviously you can't, so you're not trying to find a balance between all economic theories, are you? You're just rationalizing the already established system and claiming it to be a perfect center of everything. Why?


And now, call me slow if you will, but if we're going back to the first posts, tell me exactly what's wrong with this:
The claim is, capitalism can be salvageable if the people that work under capitalism disregard the definition of capitalism and work in more humane manners: bosses don't exploit their workers.
Equally, slavery can be salvageable if the people that work under slavery disregard the definition of slavery and work in more humane manners: slaveowners don't exploit their slaves.

My question is, why is capitalism respectable in this manner but not slavery?
And where did I become a racist? Was it the moment you read "slave" and a black guy immediately popped into your head?
