I'll sum up the article in one sentence. The business of business is business.

Too bad so many people fail to grasp the moral superiority of Capitalism. They cling to Socialism as fervently as any other zealot and remain deliberately blind to its evils.

"so many people fail to grasp the moral superiority of Capitalism."

A great example of this occurred last year during Tesla's shareholders' meeting. A few woke policies were proposed, obviously injected by Progressives who bought a few shares just for the purpose of "social justice". One proposal demanded corporate activism on behalf of child laborers mining cobalt; this was voted down.
A few minutes later, something remarkable happened.
Something that served the interest of ending forced child labor to wit cobalt mining.
Elon announced Tesla is eliminating cobalt from battery production.
The self-righteous Progressives (to wit Communists) wanted advocacy in cobalt mining.
Capitalism eliminated the issue outright.
Sure it will take a while to propagate cobalt-free battery technology thru the industry, but that will happen faster and do far more than Socialists "doing something".

Capitalism is a really terrible and unfair socio-econmic system except for at the others...
