Ah my bad. I was mostly talking about people wanting govt to intervene with prices of things they're buying (employee time, hospital visit, google play store). Apologies, english isn't my first language.
"Regulations when I buy, free market when I sell" Just doesn't have the same oomph to it as your wording

FWIW I think the meaning is clear — "socialism for X, capitalism for Y" is a pretty common template that people use in the exact way as your blog post, even if it doesn't exactly fit the dictionary definition of either word.

Capitalism or Socialism? (I am unaware of serious controversy around {when, I, buy, sell}, but am ready to be enlightened) I was ready to quibble with the wording of the title, but after reading the content decided that it was okay.
I am guessing socialism, because that's the context it was replied in

Correct. The latter. I think capitalism and corporatism are interchanged a lot but socialism has gone way beyond describing economics.
