Do you care about people without access to goods in capitalist countries? I bet you don't, so just drop this argument. BTW, are you claiming BRAZIL is a socialist country? Good grief. United States currency is the base currency for the world, so yeah, if you're sore that you're don't live in the richest country on earth or of Humanity History then just move there. Don't blame made up stuff. You wouldn't go live in a Panama slum, right? So that's not the matter.

Don't be silly. Just because I said that I could travel to the United States and pay way less on everything it doesn't mean that the US is a role model or the only place possible. Brazil is indeed a socialist country. Heck, just go see what happened in the past 90+ years here and in the rest of the developed world. High tax everywhere, dictatorship, no respect for private property, famine on the poorest areas in the Northeast, inflation, a large amount of state-owned companies and its de facto (by the very nature of itself + subsidies paid by taxation and inflation) or de juri monopoly, policies against importation, etc. Only commies can't see it.

  You're obviously completely blinded by ideologies so think whatever you want, it doesn't change, at all, the academic and historical definitions of the terms you use as if you knew what they meant. Taxation, state-owned companies, inflation, protectionism, famine, none of these are alien to any other liberal democracy in the entire world, nor of modern history, not even to ancient history, or whatever, in fact they are or have been present in almost every country in the world. As this is just closed-loop thought(e.g.: thing = bad, I label anything I don't like as thing, therefore thing bad, thus I right) and not actually knowledge, or philosophy, or a proper tool to make sense of the world, to me it's worthless, but have fun with it!
