Israel's trend to Capitalism

[airborne]

I've been reading "Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal". It was said that regulation breed more regulations which made perfect sense to me and that eventually any compromise with evil, collectivism, will lead to its victory, communism. This makes sense. However, it appears that in this day and age there is more hope for Objectivists. That there is more driving force on our side than there ever was.

Observe, Israel. Born as a Socialist Zionist Democracy. Early black markets consisted of foreign food(outlawed to benefit local inferior business). Kibbutzim, the socialist communities were a beacon to the nation. Music, literature and the arts were imbued with collectivist influence. In addition, religious people began arriving who established strong holds over the democracy.

However, today things have become better. I can buy food from overseas if I really want(although its cheaper here), I cant catch a public bus on Sabbath's but I can take a plane from the airport on Sabbath's(el-al was privatised). Ultra-Orthodox jews still continue to leech of taxpayer money and study at yeshivas in order to protect Israel from its evil deeds and ensure its survival. But the point is things are better, in spite of constant threat of extermination(usually an imminent threat is a way tyranny gains power no?). There is a huge IT industry, more skyscrapers, more businesses and ideas.

How is US fairing in terms of advancing towards more capitalism? more regulations ? less? I hear every now and then of small regulations being removed.
