    I do wonder whether the writers of these articles know this and they have an ulterior motive for the consistent wrong predictions, like propaganda, or if they literally do not understand managed economies because of their capitalist brain worms

      Likely a combination of the two things. You don’t get in a position to write these kinds of articles unless you already drink the kool aid. And drinking the kool aid means you already have existing biases that lead you to frame things in a certain way.
