Capitalists when flaws at home: "It's loopholes capitalism, humans are flawed beings, guvwerning is suwper hawd uwu pwease gib more bailouts fow our investow class. :3."
Capitalists when flaws in an AES state: "This demonstrates how communists eat babies, want everyone to suffer as much as possible, and can't ever do anything competent. They are physically incapable of being good people and must be stopped even if we have to do supreme acts of evil to make it happen. I mean, wait. Acts of good. Because we're the good ones. 100%. No flaws here. I mean, wait. We're flawed. Just, uh... when we're governing. Not when we're bombing them for governing evilly with pure evil. Then we're perfect angels."
Meanwhile AES states are like: "In the year X, month Y, day Z, we found that we overdid things by 13% and under-performed in our goals by 24%. Our analysis shows that we can improve conditions for our people by doing A, B, and C adjustments." later "We did the adjustments and they worked, people are getting their needs met more effectively and are living more empowered lives. We will continue to make improvements in sector N and sector M. Here is a scientific dissertation on the methodology we used."
Then capitalists are like: "How dare you try to show us up on science! Here is an unclassified dissertation on how we used a mixture of bombs, terrorism, sanctions, and NGOs to make yet another country submit to our exploitation."
