I'm not aware of a position that I took in that last comment. It was mostly a comment about the views of the owners of capital in America. They may be fools, but their opinions are the greatest force shaping American governance, especially now that they've greatly advanced their vision of replacing the judiciary in the US (who are now the de facto legislators), so it's important to know where they're coming from.

My own views tend toward the pragmatic - when the time comes to replace my roof, I just want someone who can do the job, because I sure don't want to.
