Right now in China communism is building high-speed rail and everyone can afford to own a house, but sure, use an example of one shitty car from half a century ago as an attempted rebuttal to complaints about capitalism, an irrefutably exploitative and abusive system that’s making lives worse.

Housing for profit gives us 750,000 homeless people while houses and apartments stay empty. Food for profit gives us 30% of food thrown out of grocery stores while people go hungry. Health for profit gives us rampant bankruptcy despite us spending 18% of our paychecks on insurance.

Journalism for profit gives us “who can possibly say what the truth is?” while reporters vacillate and equivocate to avoid alienating readers and losing revenue. Government for profit gives us a ruling elite setting rules that benefit only themselves and codifying maximal exploitation of labor.
