@A7Glow........correct answer (finally and with thanks!)
Vast majority of modern democracies combine a free market economy with varying degrees of state ownership and intervention/support. Basic principle is that the state provides the pillars for civic society (healthcare, defence, legal system and education) whilst a free market economy then generates the taxation base and revenue for these services to operate.
Whether you live in Belgium, the UK, Italy, Germany, Canada, Japan, USA, Australia, France.....you are living in a society which by and large actually combines the free market with elements of basic socialism.
The only main difference between the elected/governing political parties is in the overall mix of capitalism-socialism their agendas offer.

I think my buddy Shaprshooter would've liked this quote. In memory of banned Sharpshooter (R.i.P.)
This is the big problem with Communism and Socialism. It is inherently the most selfish philosophy on planet Earth. It's the idea that because I'm breathing, I deserve something. Capitalism is forced Altruism. I starve unless I provide something to you that you find useful.

the "main difference" would be the rate of taxation on industry.
higher taxes benefit workers. lower taxes benefit businesses.

Choose better sources.
*although it may not be fair to describe Brietbart.com as "wingnuts". I mean sure, they have conducted undercover sting operations on various "*******" (sic) organisations and released heavily edited videos to make them look worse than they are, and they've also out and out made up things in order to smear the political left, but that's only the same sort of nonsense carried out by frothy British shitrag the Daily Mail, and that heap of stinking garbage is positively mainstream.
