The EU's GDPR is a good example of privacy prioritized over corporate profit.

Not prioritized at all is not what the parent poster alleged.

Sorry, but I interpret "entirely run by capital" differently.

"entirely run by capital" and "not at all run by capital" are not the only two options. There's a very wide spectrum between the two. Again, GDPR is an example of this; so's the Norwegian sovereign wealth fund versus, say, Alaska's oil dividend.

Exactly my point, thank you. EU GDPR is a great example. There is a wide spectrum between the two that the parent commenter appeared to disregard.

They didn't disregard it at all.

> The US is entirely run by capital. If its profitable it'll be allowed even if it harms peiple

None of this wording excludes the following:

"In contrast to the US, Europe is not entirely run by capital. If it's profitable it may not be allowed if it harms people."

Why limit the question to governance?

Compared to the US: EU

Democratic socialism

The socialism only exists for capital owners
