Because they put limits on capitalism.

It is not all or nothing.

Sure but what are the specific policies that explain this specific pattern? That's what I'd like to know. Just writing it off as capitalism bad doesn't help, even if it's true.

If that's what you wanted to know, why didn't you ask what the specifics were? All you made was an open ended statement that could be interpreted any number of ways, most of which (in modern colloquial conversation, and this particular context) are going to be viewed as a defense of what the commenter was criticizing.

If you want to have an explicit discussion, ask explicit questions, dont just assume some rando on the internet is going to know your intent.

I thought it was sort of implied but you're right I could have been more explicit.
