Okay, so what would Europe be? For example, in many modern social democracies, the government has public health insurance, but you can still choose private alternatives as a consumer.
Well, then, to be consistent, we cannot simply use state owned companies as sole characteristics, as long as the consumers have a choice in the market.
What we got here is not capitalist, the government owns stakes in multiple companies and untill recently owned several companies that held a monopoly on specific goods because of that.
