German and US capitalism aren’t remotely the same thing. Like ‘it doesn’t even seem fair to use the same word’ different.

Capitalism is capitalism. What you are really saying is that there are other factors at play that actually make the difference. I guess it's the fact that in europe (and germany) the goverment governs the free market more. In the united states there is more of a free market and more 'lobbied' politicians keeping it that way (the dragon).

Yeah, because there's no capitalism in the US.

Capitalism cannot exist under strict regulations created by big corps to protect themselves from competition. This is the opposite of capitalism.
