    From empirical evidence we learned that no way in socialism we can enjoy this kind of freedom of expression.

      Not entirely true, I sort of jest when I make hyperbolic statements about socialism being the anti-CEO. I personally believe in mixed economies that are well regulated. I know a lot of people dismiss the successes in Norway and neighboring countries on ideas of “cultural/racial homogeneity” among other things, but they do quite well with a mixed economies.

      In mixed economies, you have both the right and incentive to start a small to medium sized business; and if you become too big and ubiquitous, the government can step-in to help govern your company.

      It’s not a perfect solution (I’m not sure if that exists), but I think it’s one of the best models we have–and a lot of the governing principles are derived from socialist criticisms of unregulated capitalism. Especially in the US I think we’d benefit from this sort of economic structure; but in-order for that to happen in a meaningful and positive way for the public, we will need electoral reform.
