1 - anarchy is not capitalism.
2 - thinking european governments have more control over people's lives than the us government is utterly delusional and misguided, and once again, none of the european countries are socialist.
3 - i would choose to go by the textbook used by the majority of the world, rather than a bias one with a clear agenda.
4 - No, they aren't. Socialism is one thing, public services something else, completely different.
We live in democratic capitalist countries. We pay taxes ideally to get public services that benefit all, these do not interfere with our right to private property or enterprise, so it is capitalism.
The idea of a system without government or taxes is anarchy which is something else.
These radical "free market" people have tried to shove that definition down people's throats, that everything public is socialism, but that is just bullshit. Maybe you should tell them social is one thing, socialism is something else, I'm guessing they don't know?
