"Ricardo, rightly for his time, regards the capitalist mode of production as the most advantageous for production in general, as the most advantageous for the creation of wealth. "
^^^^^ CB: "[R]ightly for his time" and Marx's time seems a key qualifier since, after Ricardo's and Marx's death the capitalist mode of production had a qualitative shift in that it has produced nuclear weapons, seeks to produce Star Wars technology, biological weapons, in type, weapons of mass destruction of the human species and truly anti-use values , anti-species being stuff.
Even though I argued computer video games can be use-values, I'd argue that nuke weapons are anti-use-values.
