Every once in a while I see someone infer there exists socialist and capitalist governments. Can someone name me a pure socialist or capitalist government? Are not all governments a mixture of socialism and capitalism? What do people mean when they refer to a socialist government, or a capitalist one for that matter?

There's not such thing as a socialist government, nor a capitalist government. Socialism and capitalism are economic systems, not government types.

No, that is false. Governments can be described based upon the economic systems they support. The Cold War was basically seen as capitalism vs. socialism. Obviously, governments can also be described based on their political system.

Yes, they can also be described by their views on abortion or war, but that doesn't mean that it's a governmental form. It's just an issue.

You can argue semantics if you wish, it is clear in the real world that governments are often defined by the economic systems they support.

Hugo,

I cannot offer an example of a pure government anymore. We now have mixed governments with stronger leanings one way or the other.

India, China, and Egypt are examples of fairly socialistic mixed governments
The United States has the lowest level of socialism that I am aware of. Since this is your area, maybe you could provide a less socialistic major country than the United States. (That leans to the side of capitalism)

I agree that economic systems are part of the national identity and shape the character of a government. We are a democratic capitalistic society. If we are honest about ourselves, some of our checks and balances give unequal power to wealthy capitalists.
