    We don’t have capitalism in the US, we have late-stage crony capitalism. Regulated capitalism is fine, but we are in a crony capitalist system which feeds corporate greed. Our government is controlled by a handful of mega corps which have their hands pulling the strings due to the lobbying system. It wasn’t always this way, which is why I don’t blame capitalism, I blame human greed.

      late-stage crony capitalism.

      So… capitalism.

      crony capitalist system which feeds corporate greed.

      Sooo… capitalism?

      Our government is controlled by a handful of mega corps which have their hands pulling the strings due to the lobbying system.

      So just bog-standard capitalism, then?

      Regulated capitalism is fine

      The Soviets tried that and failed. The Chinese tried it too, and it turned into… bog-standard capitalism.
