Pretty much every economy in the world is a mixed economy nowadays (yes, even America). So all this dick waving for nothing.
If you have things like pensions, medicare, welfare, public police, public schools, public roads, public sanitation, public parks, that is not a purely capitalistic society. That is (gasp!) socialism.
Even in the "Western world" context, America is actually the minority. Canada/Germany/UK/Denmark/Norway/Sweden/Finland, etc. have public healthcare to boot.
Every country in the world is socialist to a certain degree.
The capitalists "won" in the sense that McDonalds in now on the street corner of China and Russia. Hurrah. Now Americans are crying that they can't compete with China ... well you can't have it both ways. This is what "free market" means.
