It wasn’t capitalism that that said bail out large companies when they make bad investments. It wasn’t capitalism that said hand out free loans to any company who asks during covid. It’s not capitalism that prohibited community based ISPs.

It wasn’t capitalism in the same way that “it wasn’t real communism”. Sure, I guess maybe, but it’s the inevitable outcome of the processes that define capitalism. Just as all kittens become cats, this is what all capitalism becomes.
