Governments bailing out banks is not capitalism.

This reminds me of the "Well, the Soviets never practiced real communism!" argument.

My point being that it appears to me that "real" capitalism has never actually existed in reality. It is an overly-idealistic theory, much like "real" communism.

Just to be clear, I am very pro-market economy.
