Yeah we are because that critique is not based in reality, and people who still believe it can be safely ignored because they're opining on a subject they have no clue about.
Out of curiosity, do you think the USSR collapsed because all its own citizens thought the government was doing too good a job?
China introduced private corperations and capital because they increased efficiency and production.
Are you saying every government whose ever tried tons of central planning just messed up or randomly decided to scale it back just for funsies?
Given that 70% of people were against dissolution of USSR, that's pretty obviously the case. Meanwhile, China is very obviously a centrally planned system, and US government moans about it incessantly. The fact that China allows private corporations doesn't mean it's not centrally planned as anybody with a functioning brain would understand. China literally puts out 5 years plans for its economy.
Here's how your market based economy is doing against Chinese central planning:

No, I'm saying that's just bullshit you made up that has no basis in facts. In fact, not only does central planning work well at government level, but it doesn't even work at company level as was clearly demonstrated when Walmart outcompeted Sears using central planning https://www.versobooks.com/en-ca/products/636-the-people-s-republic-of-walmart
Maybe spend a bit of time educating yourself on the subject instead of making a clown of yourself here.
get their ass
