Free-rider (not loader!) has an economic meaning. It is easy to attack a post when you put words in people's mouths.

The EU shares common regulatory characteristics as well as a common capital market often. Comparing the two systems is not "nationalistic flamebait" and I find it sort of absurd to suggest so.

Different economic systems have an impact on people's well being. I didn't realize it was verboten to suggest so.

re: paywalls, I agree they are annoying (ironic that given the subject matter of the post they will likely become much more common), but you can use archive.is

I think that's pretty telling.

You're not doing "a comparison between different economic systems" in the sense of wanting to compare trade-offs. The picture you're painting is so one-dimensional that it's no basis for discussion. It's just a rallying point for people to argue whether Europe sucks or the US sucks.
