    Eh, does Vault-Tec care about profits or science? Almost everyone died, and the ones that didn’t aren’t paying anymore.

    There are certainly some critiques of capitalism - the vaults being paid at all - but I think you’re overselling it

      Of course it cared about profits. Profits right then. That’s one of the key components of capitalism. The complete and utter lack of an ability to put long-term profit ahead of short-term profit. I can think of nothing more quintessentially capitalist then destroying the world in an effort to make a lot of money today.

          “Corporatism vs Capitalism” was invented by capitalists to create a strawman that they can blame instead of blaming capitalism for everything wrong with captitalism.

          The rest of the world uses Corporatism for something else entirely, what you might mean is corpocracy or corporate capitalism, which are just manifestations of capitalism.

      It needed the profits for even more radical science!
