Most people do not even understand what capitalism is thanks to the term becoming conflated with greed. And as the poll shows, not supporting capitalism doesn't mean supporting socialism.
- nickthemagicman 10y agoKeynesian demand side capitalism has proved to be great. Unregulated supply side economics appears to lead to massive exploitation and monopolies. That being said socialism and capitalism work together everyday in America. See highways, education, plumbing, etc. It has been argued that Socialism/government regulation is needed for Capitalism to work optimally.
- friedman23 10y agoIf we are going to call every government with a highway system and a free healthcare system socialist the word becomes meaningless.
- Gustomaximus 10y agoTo be fair, people who understand capitalism will still debate what it is.
- twblalock 10y agoThat's why this poll isn't very useful.
