    This is our beloved capitalism.

    That’s sort of the joke. We are living in the IRL equivalent of people complaining Communism is OP in Victoria 3.

    “What do you mean you’re leveraging a highly efficient network of state owned enterprises to obtain materials and utilities nearly at-cost?! That’s cheating!!!”

    China has ten highly productive and innovative EV companies in a bloody knuckled price war because it’s state government makes starting and growing auto plants artificially cheap and easy.

      Personally I prefer Communism in Victoria 2 or Peasant republics in EU5. Let me flood the market with cheap cloth then shut it down and tank the entire worlds capacity to build units.
