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.

"Regulations when I buy, free market when I sell"
