I didn't say I disagreed, I said WTF which is an expression of confusion.
On one hand, he says that capitalism makes it difficult for the state to do its job of taking care of the poor and elderly, which sounds as though he is advocating for less capitalism. Of course this is completely backwards, because it is the government that gets in the way of capitalism doing *its* job of making everyone better off.
But then later he says that we need more rich people in the city, which seems to advocate for more capitalism, which would be the correct approach but conflicts with the earlier statement. That is the source of my confusion.
