What's "harrowing" about the truth?Friedman also believed one person-one vote distorted markets, and he vastly preferred the latter:
The End of Friedmanomics
"All of which makes a contemporary reading of Friedman’s Cape Town lectures a harrowing experience.
"His first speech was an unremitting diatribe against political democracy—an explicit rejection of, in Friedman’s words, 'one person, one vote,' delivered to a nation in which more than half of the population was disenfranchised by race.
"Voting, Friedman declared, was inescapably corrupt, a distorted “market” in which “special interests” inevitably dictated the course of public life. Most voters were 'ill-informed.'"
What did Friedman's version of capitalism do to Chile, Rube?That's what capitalism does, moron. That's what he meant.

Like what?China
But that does not mean a military invasion
China has many ways to enslave weaker foreign countries

Plundering the poor: the role of the World Bank in the Third World - PubMed
"The World Bank, the most important so-called development assistance agency, annually dispenses billions of dollars to Third World governments, ostensibly to 'develop' their economics through a variety of loan projects.
"But even a superficial analysis reveals that the Bank is the perfect mechanism to help (i.e., subsidize) the large transnational corporations from the industrial countries to expand their industrial, commercial, and financial activities in the Third World, at the expense of the latter and particularly at the expense of the rural and urban proletariat."
Socialism does not work without capitalism just a capitalisms does work without socialism. The two countries that are the most socialist are Cuba and North Korea which are both pretty crappy places to live. Somalia when it was under the control of pirates and war lords was a near pure example capitalism free to operate without interference. Again, a pretty crappy place to live.Name a place socialism works?
also, what’s your issue with capitalism?

Russia? China? Germany? India? You’re a stupid idiotThe US military has killed millions of innocent civilians on the opposite side of the planet since 1945.
Can you name another country whose record compares to that?
Government bailed out its wealthy donor class which is always how the "best government money can buy" can be expected to behave. The solution is to get money out of politics and not to shrink government.Of course not. They only bail out their buddies. That's now "free shit" government works.
Except it was money chasing people in those poor neighborhoods not the other way around:The left denies it now, but starting as early as the clinton presidency great pressure was put on lenders to make risky loans on poor neighborhoods
"New Democrats" like Bill Clinton were never liberal, and they were pushed by their new best friends on Wall Street to deceive poor people (Latinx and Black) into massively overpaying for homes and interest rates that would never apply to normal (white) people under market rates. All the fraud was coming from lenders, not buyers.Liberals pushed their favorite minority into situations that were over their heads snd sure to fail
