Of course Mexico had a socialist government for 80 years. Nothing there is an example of pure capitalism. The closest you'll ever get to an example of pure capitalism at work is America.

Mexico had a socialist government for 80 years. Not really ----ours is far more socialist. They have public school available ---not mandatory ---for everyone up until 6th grade, they don't have welfare, food stamps, free health care. They have a lot of socialism for the elite class ---when they object to Pemex being privatized, why do you think that is? Does Pemex money in any way benefit the 90%? No -- it's government controlled but all the money goes to a very few connected with the government.

I didn't know that. In what way were they socialist? It is quite doubtable. What was nationalized? Did they have the right to own property? Please expound.
But I was referring to South America as well, where conditions are similar.
