Capitalism includes the capitalist state, which is why these supposed guardrails do not exist. Further, capitalism with guardrails still has fundamental problems like the tendency for the rate of profit to fall, crisis of overproduction due to an inability to be coherently planned, not to mention surplus value exploitation leading to enshittification and all the problems with the profit motive.

    crisis of overproduction due to an inability to be coherently planned Is your claim planned economy is better? Because history shows planned economies tends to underproduce on necessities. not to mention surplus value exploitation leading to enshittification There’s still issues of people skimming, but because essential monopolies has been created historically. No one has others to buy from, so enshittification has no way to be challenged. Capitalism is just really effective at sending signals back, as it hurts every part of the chain if the seller can’t sell their goods. The one socialist society that almost succeeded their market, but USA unfortunately fucked them hi Latam, essentially build market signals into their models and wasn’t centrally planned. like the tendency for the rate of profit to fall, And why isn’t this a positive? Goods being traded at the cost to produce. Not at some random markup, just because.
