Bro, you are seriously mistaken about how economies of the world are run. All economies of the world are somewhere in between 100% full capitalism (ie, say, even the police force is privatised) vs 100% centrally planned (ie, almost like North Korea but then, even they have some degrees of capitalism). Even in the great USA, the most, so called, capitalistic nation in the world is not 100% capitalistic.
Most of the 1st world nations have got right (ie, leaning more towards capitalism) and left political parties (leaning towards socialism) championing the cause for the nation. At certain point, when the country leans too far left with many subsidies and resulting in high taxation, people will vote right. At other times, when the country leans too far right, resulting in many poor living in the streets, people will vote left. An excellent example is the Republican (more right) and Democratic (more left) parties of the US. It's through this fine balancing in a 100% functioning democracies that the country progress forward, with each side taking turns to take charge of the country at one time or other.
In the case of Singapore, the PAP policies of the last many years have been leaning too far right, causing an increase in wage gap (ie, Gini index increasing) over the last decade. It's time to pull the needle back left from the right but our problem is, we don't have a true multi-party democracy functioning in our parliament. Hence, some people, even though, they may not necessary like PAP, are still voting for PAP cause they think we don't have any oppos credible enough to match PAP (unlike say, the Democrats vs Republicans of the US, or the Labour vs Conservatives of UK etc).
So, before you open your mouth blindly accusing people of being communist when they propose left leaning policies for the nation, step back and take a helicopter view of things first...
