To be even more picky it is somehow elitist leftism.
Anyway, the Concorde had not exactly a backlog of reservations when it was retired, besides whatever technical and environmental reasons, the same "capitalism" that allowed it to exist seemingly didn't produce enough people willing to pay fares of around US$ 12,000 for a US/EU round trip[1].
And most probably Mr.Berk would have appreciated the champagne with the caviar (which is a no-no[2]).
