Even if the leadership of a company is focused on making money, a lot of the organization below that leadership might very well be focused on providing a good service. Which for a food producing company would mean feeding people. A lot of time there’s a synergy between making money and providing a good service.
You could also say that the leadership of a communist country doesn’t care about feeding people, they care about the people not revolting out of hunger. There’s a kind of positive synergy there too.
The reality is that the selection pressure for companies is to make profit. Providing a good service tends to be more expensive than using shady business practices, hence why we see companies use shady business practices. And once a company gets large enough to become an effective monopoly then it doesn’t even have to provide a semblance of a good service because there are no viable alternatives customers can use. Telecom industry in North America is a perfect example of that.
The leadership of a communist country caring about people not revolting is a much more direct incentive to provide better lives for people than the indirect incentive of a profit motive.
Like tankies is used to describe those supporting the Tiananmen Square massacre, Dronies is used to describe liberals who “support” western drone attacks
