You are also, as ever, viewing everything though a simplistic understanding that there is only capitalism or communism and not a grey area in between with (regulated) markets where they work and state funded provision in areas of market failure. I’m sorry you appear unable to understand the complexities of this, possibly because your adversarial political ideology doesn’t allow it, however I’m sure others can understand perfectly well.
Nope, having slept on it I still can't fathom what you're on about.

All I see are lots of fancy words strung together to make a statement that the 'man in the street' could make with just two . . . which everyone from any walk of life understands
