I'm not sure that "America has become that which it once opposed". The ultimate goal of capitalism is to establish yourself as the single, dominant supplier of goods and/or services. This might be contrary to the belief that the aim of capitalism is to provide competition.
The aim is to be the winner. In being the winner, you must have disposed of any effective competition. Of course, when you have no competition and you are the only supplier, you have achieved the same conditions for which a socialist state strives. Still interesting though.
