Right, I agree that governments should stay out of people's business.

If you're saying that governments always mess with the free market, then I guess we're in socialist-capitalist economic systems..? Still better than just socialist.

If your definition of capitalism requires pure free markets, and you consider any regulation of markets by government to be socialism, then yes all existing economic systems are socialist and no capitalist systems exist.

Personally I don't find a framework so reductionist that it considers the USSR and the US to be equivalent to be very useful.
