That is something that those of us who believe in little intervention and regulations tend to do, exaggerating. I acknowledge that. At the slightest regulation or tax increase we accuse of communism.
Ideally, I believe that there should be some intervention (some free market theorists argue that everything should be private, justice, security forces, etc. everything). I believe that sectors such as health, justice and security forces should be if not offered and controlled exclusively by the government, at least in cohabitation with the private sector, in health for example. Just as the government has to help people who cannot fend for themselves. From there, I understand that the best thing is the minimum of regulations and the minimum of taxes possible, which is a system that has its flaws, but at least it is not as disastrous as extreme interventionism.
That’s the right wing media that make things the way they are right now. If you are against capitalist companies ruining the world, you are suddenly a communist. What is it so communist about wanting people who worked hard all their life to not be rationing their insulin for example? If you want insulin to be free and paid by the government from our taxes, you suddenly become a communist, how so? I mean I paid my taxes, I want to take the medicine that keeps me alive, the other possibility that I won't be able to afford insulin and die, how is that bad?
However media makes sure that they talk about billionaires and protect their rights over people because those same billionaires are the ones that are paying their salary, so they do their best. Politicians are also bribed by them, so the whole nation is basically a big corporation heaven. Then they show poor people in venezuela and act like everything is cool with USA, just because Venezuela sucks doesn't change the fact that the biggest capitalist nation allows people to die so that big pharma can make more profits.
