We don't have capitalism in the US, we have late-stage crony capitalism. Regulated capitalism is fine, but we are in a crony capitalist system which feeds corporate greed. Our government is controlled by a handful of mega corps which have their hands pulling the strings due to the lobbying system. It wasn't always this way, which is why I don't blame capitalism, I blame human greed.
So... capitalism.
Sooo... capitalism?
So just bog-standard capitalism, then?
The Soviets tried that and failed. The Chinese tried it too, and it turned into... bog-standard capitalism.
Nope, wrong. Entirely.
It's always been crony capitalism. There is no other kind of capitalism - never has been.
it's greed. whether under a socialist regime, capitalist, communist or other, all it takes to destroy the system is for greedy people in power to force it open by buying judges and politicians. capitalism is in no way a prerequisite.
There is no such thing as a "socialist" regime... not in the way we generally use the term regime, anyway. And the regimes that (falsely) attributed to themselves the characteristics of socialism never claimed to make a virtue out of human greed like our neoliberal ones do.
Are you trying to say that a disjointed and incoherent jumble of pretexts, justifications and outright lies masquerading as an ideology that specifically exists to justify said human greed will (somehow) be destroyed by human greed?
Looks to me like it's working as designed... and not "destroyed" at all.
