The capitalism part is always funny. Depending on who you talk to, it is either a capitalist paradise or a socialist paradise. Probably because it has a lot of both. Roughly 50% of the economy is in the hands of state or state-owned companies. On the other hand, companies can also fire employees without needing a reason. There are large and powerful unions, but there are no rights to strike. There is mandatory state-regulated health insurance for everyone which covers basically everything, but it’s provided through private insurances. Lots capitalism-socialism “contradictions” for those who don’t know how the country actually works, and don’t want to spend the time to do so.
So people tend to pick what fits their beliefs so that they can criticise the country, usually to make themselves feel better wrt their jealousy of its wealth, stability and beauty.
