12:14 The U.S.R.R. wasn't less capitalist than the U.S.A.! The only difference was that capital was a privilege in the U.S.S.R. and a shared right in the U.S.A.
Making capitalisation a privilege of a few do not make it less a capitalisation.
And capitalism is certainly not what made the prosperity of western countries. Relative Freedom , Justice and Mutual Respect among citizens did. Everything went particularly better in countries where people could believe that doing their best for others was in their interest or in the interest of their children, and that no superior force was going to take everything for unknown projects and let them with no responsibilities. No matter it was in the name of capitalism, socialism, royalism, (true) communism, anarchism or whateverism… people did particularly well everywhere they could non-ironically believe to be responsible of their future, everywhere they could feel responsible for their acts and everywhere they have been treated as sentient and intelligent adults.
And, equally, no matter the intentions, everything went worse in countries with no individual liberties , with no individual responsibilities for their successes and failures, and no shared interest in well-being.
