Exactly, the elephant in the room is why there is such a stark difference in outcomes?
If the issue were simply about democracy or voters making better choices, we would expect to see a range of results among liberal democracies. Some would be handling these types of crises well, others poorly. But we're seeing one consistent trend across the board. That consistency suggests the problem isn't about the people within the system making bad choices, but about underlying structural factors in the system itself. It implies that liberal capitalist societies, regardless of their specific voters or parties, are all being steered by their fundamental mechanics toward a common set of outcomes, while a system with a different fundamental structure is capable of producing a different result.

His point is essentially that liberal democracies are not democracies, so they are controlled by elite interests.

Fucking liberals. I watched an interview with Chomsky's daughter the other day and she twisted herself into knots to avoid the words "Socialism" or "Communism" while talking about Venezuela. She literally called Cuba's revolution as "populist nationalism."
