    Where does it say this is limited to capitalist societies?

    Edit:
    Insane how this is downvoted when you look at the responses. 🤡🤥
    Nobody is making any kind of valid argument that this would be different in a non capitalist society.

    I'm not even going to reply to that, because it is so absurdly nonsensical. But congratulations to you, you managed to sound more crazy than the "AI" cult that has been infesting lemmy lately.

    We only have evidence of it in capitalist countries.

    do you really imagine that in a non capitalist society cooperate leaders would be trusted less?

    Seeing as China's government is run by scientists and doctors, yes.

    So in what society is this NOT the case?

    Seeing as China’s government is run by scientists and doctors, yes.

    What? How does that make any sense? So what are they saying about their business people? Are they too trusted more? Or are you just making shit up as you go?

    No, I misread and thought you said corporate no cooperate. Now I have no idea what you're saying.

    I removed that part, because apparently people don't get it.
    But I would wager that cooperate managers would be more trusted than corporate ones. Without them being any different in all practical matters.

    Also Science is not entirely capitalist, business managers are. So saying that science would be trusted more in a on capitalist society doesn't make the least bit of sense.
