  You don't understand. I said it has got us those things because capitalism
has got us *wealth*. Capitalist countries are generally rich countries, where
people earn a lot and thus pay a lot of taxes, which are then used for free
services for everybody.

  Other economic and governmental models certainly also produce some free
services, but in practice that seems to mostly come at the cost of limiting
other freedoms and human rights.
