Capitalism with guard rails is just capitalism. It's never socialism or communism. No country has a completely unfettered free market, it's always on a spectrum with many socialist policies and regulations for the greater good. The question is which policies are used and how they're enforced, and America has always tended toward more individual choice over state mandated actions.
