That's one way of looking at it, but I think the point isn't that capitalist society are unable to wield and use authority, it's just that authority is rarely ever used for socially beneficial outcomes.
With covid, for example, it turned out capitalist countries could easily freeze rents, wholly subsidise wages of a significant proportion of the population, double or triple welfare payments and suspend student debt payments, implement full work from home arrangements and ban certain types of travel without any appreciable impact.
Australia maintained covid measures for a long time and it's quite a capitalist state. The US could have too if there was a desire to among the elites.

I've never seen a child custody agency that wasn't an awful place to work filled with the awful people strong enough to last. Having only 750 staff seems a bit low? Guess it's 600 now.
We'll dilute the struggle with a thousand litres of water and dump discharge it into the ocean
Is there much legitimate monitoring or is all that from TEPCO and IAEA?
Still couldn't be worse than coal though
