Darn sneaky commies.
A red star and a sickle doesnot represent a socialist government with mixed economy. It represents communism.

UK is mixed economy socialist government as most of the other governments of the world nations are. Even China is no more communist but a mixed economy communist government now.

And the idea of paying for the single mother on behalf of the tax payers, and hence providing an incentive for every girl to be the mother, is one of the major cause of the problem.
Government is not injecting those girls for the sake of their health, as it is quite clear that these injections are not feasible for pertaining good health.
Government is doing that to curb the burdens of paying the single mothers, as teen girls are commonly opting for that.
Parents are almost helpless to properly give a good assistance and upbringing for their kids and hence avoid the cases of preteen and teen sex in general because of the excessive rules and regulations parenting is suffering from.

No jokes can avoid the reality, and you know that.

yet again, there is no Capitalist country whole round the world, even not Hongkong or Singapore, even there, citizens are provided with free/subsidized water and home on behalf of the taxes.
And there is no country in the world which is not socialist to some extent or other.
