I was raised in a capitalist country. Here it's not considered authoritarian to allow people to starve, to invade countries for maintaining an empire, and people die every day because wealth is redistributed to the .0001% from the people who do the work. Somehow, this is taken to be a law of nature, even though the system has not lasted for more the a few hundred years. Somehow it's not authoritarian for 3 people to literally control as much wealth as the bottom HALF of the population, it's not authoritarian to move a factory to Mexico even though workers have invested years of their lives and built a community of families, zero consideration is given to their investments of blood, sweat and years, not to mention tears. Marx had the gall to admit that a system that requires the maintenance of people desperate enough to work for the bare minimums of sustenance and maybe shelter, is not democratic, is authoritarian and not consensual on the part of the workers. Grew up in Texas, but having heathcare in Germany was weird, because economically, it existed and was a good thing, but I'm told it's physically impossible here, because people won't be incentivized to work or make drugs if not for exclusive property rights. (See Cuba, where despite embargoes and sanctions, miracle drugs are invented every day, and the life expectancy exceeds that of the USA)
