This actually is a good point. Capitalism and Socialism are broad labels that make little sense outside of scholastic arguments.

As a side note, I live in a wealthy European parliamentary monarchy with stellar press freedom ratings and an abysmal quality of press that makes me want to ignore all local news outright. Is there an -ism for that? Decadentism?

No idea... The decreasing press/media quality gets often correlated to a decreasing education quality, can you see around you such a thing?

Nope. Education is on par with neighbors if not better. Quality of pre-school and primary education is great, secondary and tertiary are acceptable.

But... The only news-only FM radio that expanded from a nearby country was banned and replaced by a stub Catholic FM radio some 10 years ago. Politics is non-existent. Parties are melting pots of scrubs.

But we get by.
