GP said "System A doesn't work without controls" and you replied "that's disingenuous: System B also doesn't work without controls". Okay? That has nothing to do with it.

You missed the whole point. The point is that having psychos in charge is not a characteristic of an economic system. It's a characteristic of forming organizations manned by human beings.

It's terribly disingenuous to use that as a pretext to bash an economic system as if you don't have the exact same problem affecting organizations that are not ran based on that economic system. It's like claiming that the fact that water is wet is a precipitation of capitalism.
