Growing up Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher told us that capitalism went hand in hand with freedom and democracy.

Today we can see that capitalists can quite comfortably walk hand in hand with authoritarianism and fascism to maintain and consolidate their wealth and power.

@danwentzel what is the ‘freedom and democracy’ in countries with national health patients have to be on a waiting list for months - even with urgent cancer situations- while private health is available to the more healthy ones? Same could be said about the education sector. Poor have the privilege of an extra tax when driving an older car as their cars is polluting. It would be progress if the government had invested in public transport.
@clarinette As if we don't have to wait for months in America. I had to wait for months to see a specialist and that is with what is called "good" health insurance.
