I dont know I'd still argue America is still very much winning at capitalism, because they're cheating, and always have. The low level consumer is irrelevant.

China has a super cheap EV that's better quality and price than anything else sold in the US? Institute massive tarrifs or just completely block them from being sold here.

The capitalists are staying rich and still getting richer. They're winning. Consumer isn't even given the option to buy the cheap China EV, or has to jump through hurdles and hoops to get the option, which very few will do.
