“Most” - shorthand for “any rational peoples, which obviously excludes the USA.” Almost everything here is subject to aggressive capitalist games - to the point that no matter how much the finance types deny it (and they do - ferociously), you’ll never convince me that “capitalism” doesn’t come from the term “capitalize,” the definition of which is “to take advantage of.”
Isn’t “capitalism” a communist word made for slandering free market though?
Edit:
Also, from my understanding, free market is the potential to grow by one’s own merit, barred only by a State that is there only to organize and defend society, not control it.
And going by grammar, dunno the original meaning of -ism, but nowadays it seems to be related to power or following potential, so capitalism would be power through capital, or chasing after it, with capital iirc being the communist word for money.
If this line of thought is correct, then capitalism would be a gross oversimplification, if not even a very shallow explanation, which would help remove the meaning of the concept to be slandered.
In my country, which is a prominent first world country, therapy is not covered by health insurance. What’s covered is a doctor’s visit, at which the doctor asks, “are you suicidal?” And if you answer “no”, they tell you to pay for a shrink out of your own pocket.
It is in most first world countries.

Wat.
There are very well documented definitions of these words. You don’t have to derive their meaning from first principles.
