it  popular to refer to anything you dont like as rasist.

people are just over reacting. what this will lead to is other countries in the EU putting pressure on the EU to reduce their anti capitalist policies which will benefit everyone. Well except the countries that lean on the economic strengh of Germany, France and UK. 

All civilized countries are some variation of democratic socialist states, even the USA. A purely capitalist state doesn't exist and if it did it would be a fucking disaster for anyone who isn't loaded. 

Social democratic states. Democratic socialism is the process by which socialism (the social ownership of the means of production) is achieved via democracy. Social democracy is characterized by a mixed economy, but primarily capitalist modes of production (private ownership of the means of production.)

The U.S has a mixed economy, but I wouldn't call it a social democracy. And the U.S is not some bastion of free-markets, private ownership, and capitalism either. Places like Hong Kong, Singapore, Switzerland, New Zealand, Australia, and Canada have much more free-market oriented economies.
