Can you name a pure capitalist state that's succeeded without socialist elements keeping it afloat?

Follow-up: Why hand money to the leeches that do nothing but own shit rather than the workers that fuel the economy?

If you can't point to an actual capitalist society that's succeeded, why would there be any meaning in pointing out a communist one that has?

Who paid for the roads, fire department, police, Military, postal service, bridges, dams... Shall I go on?

You think taxing people and using that money to fund public infrastructure and services is pure capitalism that's operating without socialist principles?
