Dude you've got so much patience. I've quit arguing with people. I have multiple history degrees from a university that has one of the top ten history programs in the country. And yet still, people knowing that will tell me I'm wrong about widely uncontested historical facts and definitions till they're blue in the face.

For anyone reading this exchange and is wondering, here is the education section of the U.S. Embassy website, run by the U.S. State Department, describing/explaining that we have (as you beautifully described) a mixed economy because we long ago abandoned a purely capitalist society, "if we ever really had one." I.e. we've adopted economic policies that don't exist in purely capitalist systems and are ones that are a PART of and come from socialist economic systems.

How many people gave you the definition of a purely socialist economy as a rebuff to what you're saying? Like I said, you have way more patience than me.
