::Actually Germany is a capitalist state. Sure the Germans are smart enough to regulate their system, unlike Republican idiots in the US, but to say this regulation is proof of them no being capitalist is just as silly as saying the lack of regulation in the US is proof that the US is a country based on Anarchy. Do German companies sell products at a profit or do they just break even? Does Germany have nationalized industries? Sorry, but Germany is very much a capitalist country, and this is seen in their having some of the biggest companies and banks in the world, and their being, right after China (who recently overtook them), the second biggest exporter of products in the world.
