1.) You can't have a capitalist economy with socialist elements. Socialism is against capitalism. What you're thinking of is social democracy, which maintains capitalism while providing certain social services.

2.) Your second paragraph confuses me: are you supporting social darwinism? Do you believe that we should also only allow certain races that are deemed superior to breed while sterilizing the others?

1.) Can we please stop with the pedantry? What is your argument? "It's only Socialism if it's pure"? Even Wikipedia groups "Social Democracy" into the Socialism category.

2.) Alright, you're clearly being dense on purpose. Not only did I not say anything about race, I specifically said voluntary measures could be taken. You don't need to forcibly sterilize people to stop dysgenics. You could have income tax credits to intelligent people who have kids, maternal leave for women (or even discouraging intelligent women from wasting their limited window of fertility in the workforce), free contraception and abortions for poor people, etc.

Your "superior breeds" and "social darwinism" nonsense is just vapid emotional rhetoric. "Oooooh, Hitler existed, therefore we must pass on a worse genetic legacy with each generation!"

1. That's because many of the original social democrats saw that as a way to transition to socialism. The vast majority of social democrats these days do not want to transition to socialism

2. So basically, you want poor people to have less children. Do you know that ethnic minorities are generally poorer than whites? That's why I mentioned races: because certain will inevitably be targeted, intentionally or unintentionally.
