Ecclesiastes 10 1
The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left. Even as he walks along the road, the fool lacks sense and shows everyone how stupid he is.

Ecclesiastes 10 1
The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left. Even as he walks along the road, the fool lacks sense and shows everyone how stupid he is.
The Unite States, completely, and most EU countries to a lesser extent, despite in some European countries' constitutions it is explicitly fobidden to implement neo-liberism and laissez-faire without any restriction.
There is a seller and a buyer and no government interference of any kind.
Will you admit, at least, that economically speaking the Nationalsozialismus of Germany was completely left-wing?
The United States does not have unbridled capitalism.
The State owns much land, like national parks.
The State is involved in military, utilities, roads, infrastructure, and so on.
The State subsidizes various industries, notably agriculture.
The State sets environmental regulations, impacting water, air, etc.
The State sets standards for employees, such as minimum wage, overtime pay, proper classification of exempt vs non-exempt workers, and so on.
This is just a short list from the top of my head that conclusively demonstrates the United States is NOT “unbridled capitalism.”

Nope, the USA has not an unbridled capitalistic system - yet. It just has one of the most unrestricted capitalistic systems.

We have a social market economy.
Healthcare is totally entrusted to privates. Bankers and financial élites own the 95% of pieces of property and resources.
Plutarchy.
Where is the State in California? On vacation?
Why are there so many homeless people in the largest cities of CA?

The biggest "capitalists" in America today are all of the Washington Establishment elites who constantly contrive new schemes to steal wealth from poor and middle-class Americans in order to "capitalize" on their positions of authority in order to further enrich themselves. And it's NEVER enough. They're like pigs at the trough. They and their corporate partners have enjoined themselves together for one purpose, their enrichment at our expense. Bonito Mussolini called that fascism.

No. Even though the Nazis used some socialist ideas, they never really opposed capitalism. In the end everything "social" or "socialist" was window dressing.

Big government. Open borders.
The constitutions are socialist. Unfortunately after 1992, the Brussels buildings have been taken over by merciless and despicable financial élites who have -de facto- been blackmailing and threatening the European governments, forcing them to suppress and to ignore the constitutional principles of their own countries.
You should thank them for the fact that today the BuBa is public.

Was German industry free to tell Hitler to get lost?

Not false but also not an argument for your case.
Please. There are countless American citizens among them.
Where is this Big Government right now? In the bathroom? A big Government would build thousands of public housing buildings.

Nope, but they were free to keep all the money they made if they cooperated.
Unbridled Capitalism means that private insurance companies are free (not bridled) to use healthcare as a profitable business.
Do you like the US system?
