Kill all government meddling in the marketplace and then we'll be able to finally see what

won't have capitalism but instead it's just varying degrees of socialism.

On the contrary, the government provides the most elite form of corporate socialism to the largest of transnationals (military, finance, energy, pharma, agriculture, technology).
The record is clear on this (easy to verify), and evident in the everyday lives of all those who are not protected by a "too big to fail" or "most significant political donors" status.
Government "meddling" only happens with everyone else.
Capitalism does not exist. There is only a popularly repeated false mythology to keep things exactly as they are.
