    The ones currently either not functioning or actively getting dismantled?

    Are you conflating America with how all capitalism must function? Or how do you see anti trust not functioning in say, the EU?

    There are alternative better economic models today.

    Theoretical ones. Surely you understand the difference between theory and practice?

    Your earlier argument was silly because during feudalism, there were and had been alternative models that produced a similar or better standard of living.

    So far, in practice, every application of non capitalism has been a dumpster fire or yielded living standards that are significantly lower than ours.

        Don’t be upset because you conflated capitalism with America.

        And lol, right winger. Given that for the past decade+ I’ve taken a major paycut to work for a proudly progressive institution because I believe in our values, well, that’s just adorable.

        Knowing things doesn’t make someone a right winger (frequently, it’s the opposite!)
