These are not black and white capitalist or socialist systems. Each countries economy is different and more often than not a mix of economic ideologies. No pure capitalist economy exists, nor a pure socialist economy. Trying to argue that these are or are not problems with capitalism is a bit of a moot point because of that.
I said half measure not half homes. They could just, you know, provide homeless people with homes. Taxing property owners for not renting properties is doing pretty well nothing for people who are homeless and half no income. Over half a million Germans are homeless.
Edit: I see where the half home confusion is coming from, that was a typo meant to say “have homes”.
No, a market using currency does not make it capitalist. Capitalism is the free market. Capitalism is the economic ideology of private markets. Capitalism is the labor ideology of private ownership of the means of production. That one person can own a hundred factories and be entitled to the fruits of labor of those factories.
A country is more capitalist the less government control of its free market. It is more capitalist the more privatized its industries are. It is more socialist the greater the government control of its markets are, and the more nationalized its industries are.
Communist nations still use currency. Currency, or capital, has existed long before capitalism came into existence.
If you want to know more there are plenty of freely available resources online that explain it in much grater detail than I will here.
What do you mean long winding diatribes? Or did you just say that cause you think it makes you sound smart lol. You’re failing to understand the difference between money and capitalism. Markets predate capitalism. Money predates capitalism. Capitalism is an ideology.
It’s the way you used the sentence in reference to my description of capitalism. It was 2 paragraphs, a very short explanation of a socio-economic ideology.
You’ve just shown yourself to have no idea what you’re talking about. I’m not going to teach you what capitalism is. You can do that yourself.
It is an economy centered around capital, so a capitalist economy.
And nobody is talking about half homes. You get something like 50m2 for the first person and 20m2 for each subsequent family member.

Having a social program is not the same as a socialist economy
That is not what capitalism is lol

Of CAPITAL markets, no need of long winding diatribes.
Communism aspires to a cashless society.

Literally Google and read for five minutes.

Nice to see that some things are just the same as on Reddit.
BTW: The government in Germany offers you a home, but it won’t force you into a home, if you want to be homeless you can be.
