A big fan of capitalist class not even being vague about it anymore

Material conditions enforces coercion(, bargaining power). His decision upon the Washington Post, and admittance that only Internet criticizes the capitalist viewpoints/mistakes, is also an illustration of how capitalism enforces its decisions upon its possessions, long live democracy in the workplace instead. No master except God(, by definition one can't escape its/our determinism, and shouldn't reject Idea(l)s).
State-driven innovation is obviously more efficient than a company driven by profits instead of goals/vision/values(, who'll choose planned obsolescence, monopolies, stealing from other companies, ..., over genuine progress). Their theory states that the price would end up so low that they wouldn't waste profits in dividends and huge salary gap, but that's only one of the discrepancies between their theory and reality.

Most of the world is capitalist and most of the world is poor, americans aren't even able to describe what socialism/communism is, so the debate is as biased as usual. When people are working two jobs and still barely pay the rent you're living in a failed state.
And blah blah blah, the usual. You'll continue to prevent other countries from choosing their destiny by themselves instead of working on a supra-national institution protecting you&them from each other influence. And you'll prevent them from choosing a different path in the name of freedom of course.
Purpose-driven competitive hard work is good, and should be rewarded with the results, but money or power should never be the goal but only a mean towards an (hopefully virtuous )end, the exploitation of noble families already hurt us enough in the past. And the real innovators aren't the wealthy investors but are in r&d, and ignored, they're the real heroes that don't care about money/power but about results instead, offering their discoveries to ignorant&useless capitalists/masters/employers/middlemen who aren't as disinterested or purpose-driven. Elon Musk has goals, he's very clearly awesome but i don't see a second capitalist like him, even if there's probably 1-3% of them who don't care as much about wealth/power as about 'the common good'/'walking towards a better world', who have multiple original ideas for improvements and are realizing them. Capitalists aren't proving that the wealth they've stolen from customers&employees is put to a better use than if the state got that money instead.
(Vinted and Manomano have good filters on their website but Amazon is far from it and it wouldn't be that hard(, it could start with only the new products and some categories, it'd cost money to pay a team for testing themselves a given sample but that's how it should be done, to avoid annoying the seller and to control the test environment with custom tests and filters, Temu, Alibaba, french websites, ... should also do that if they want to do/be better), among other improvements. Asking for customers do round up their order by giving to a charity of their choice(, among a selection and/or freely,) would also improve their image, etc.)

That countries should selfishly think about themselves, and not serve the common good instead by helping each other, is the exact same trash "ideology"(, and certainly a consequence of the mindset of individuals,) than encouraging citizens' selfishness instead of altruism/empathy, even if it's at their own expenses.
They said that (the religious )empathy/goodness failed, and that selfishness/individuality would end up producing the same results in every single case.
I don't care if westerners fail as long as we don't bring the rest of the world with us, but i'm not the one deciding, the strong do what it can and the weak suffer what it must.
