Should we tell the Americans that they haven’t been a capitalist society for decades?

A dictionary definition of Capitalism

Economic system characterized by the following: private property ownership exists; individuals and companies are allowed to compete for their own economic gain; and free market forces determine the prices of goods and services. Such a system is based on the premise of separating the state and business activities. Capitalists believe that markets are efficient and should thus function without interference, and the role of the state is to regulate and protect.

http://www.investorwords.com/713/capitalism.html

1) Economic system characterized by the following: private property ownership exists;

That has been subverted — no one owns land anymore — The idea that a tax can be levied against the ownership of land and still be owned by a private person is contradictory and amounts to rent for land payable to the municipal or State owners

This condition of capitalism does not exist in the US or in Canada or in the UK

2) Individuals and companies are allowed to compete for their own economic gain;

This has been subverted –less than 2% of the population owns 90 % of the money and industry — there is no competition when a small group of persons attains that level of power – Totalitarian regimes such as communism or fascism are ones where there are one or a handful of owners which defeats the ideals of competition

This condition of capitalism has not been met in the US Canada or in the UK

3) and free market forces determine the prices of goods and services.

This can only occur during a period when competition is allowed – With no competition an unseen elite sets prices and wages often to the detriment of the proletarian —

This condition of capitalism has not been met

4) Such a system is based on the premise of separating the state and business activities.

When the corporation gain too much power they have and will and are currently a force which the government itself must answer to – There is no separation of State and business — Business has become the government

This condition of capitalism has not been met

6) Capitalists believe that markets are efficient and should thus function without interference, and the role of the state is to regulate and protect.

Bail outs and massive injections of tax payers cash to failed business is in direct violation of this principle and has occurred on unprecedented levels as of late

This condition of capitalism has not been met

Should we tell the Americans that they haven’t been a capitalist society for decades ?

Blame Bush blame Obama blame Joe Blow or Joe the plumber

The US has not been a capitalist society for decades now

Should we tell them or keep it to ourselves ?
