    Americans always act like you need to pick between capitalism and communism. There’s a whole spectrum inbetween you know. I live in one of the most taxed countries of Europe and while we all still complain, I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else right now.

      Well I’m not american nor did I suggest communism. I asked an open ended question. Also I hardly believe your European country isn’t based on capitalism. Albeit with more social aspects perhaps.

        Not the OP, but they said, “someplace between capitalism and communism” so I think “capitalism with modern social programs” would qualify.
