It all depends on what scale your using. So your saying that we're semi-socialist, so that would make the US what? Partially semi-socialist? When you compare us to Adam Smiths vision of a free market economy, our looks pretty centalized. I would call it communist, and I think the US has been run by a bunch of communists for a long time now. I guess this is the product of a post-communist, post-capitalist, hybrid sort of world.
