@Hyolobrika Did I hurt your feelings? I agree that I am stretching the definition, just a little.
Just like many people say that we have Capitalism in the West (we don't), it is likewise easy to claim that "Welfare" is a sure-tell-sign of socialism, and "Welfare to Corporations" is more prevalent than one can imagine...

@niclas won't argue that point. we have totally fucked up systems here. my favorite are the ~250 different public health insurances in germany, which by law all have to pay the same things. one public insurance would be enough, imagine the savings. health care would be nearly free.

And by the same token, you can't call our existing systems Capitalism, since we have no free markets.
