You have entire industries in the US that are basically government backed entities. Auto industry,Banks,etc getting bailed out,subsidies,etc. While everyone else is in a capitalist system. US is crony corporatism. Until Americans break out of this delusion that US is the best and greatest country on earth.They will be cheering about the US greatness while it collapses.

1. Every private industry in the history of the world was backed by a government of some sort.

2. Capitalism anywhere it has been tried has always turned into corporatism.

3. The "free market" has never existed anywhere at any time, it's just a buzz word self described conservatives use to paint people opposed to private tyranny as "against freedom", public figures just don't have the balls to say that.

Communism (think Stalin & Mao)is state tyranny,

Anarcho Capitalism (think Ron & Rand Paul) is private tyranny,

and Fascism (think Hitler & Mussolini) is a combination of both state and private tyranny.

The only alternative to tyranny is libertarian socialism (think Noam Chomsky, Chris Hedges).

Yea I know. I was talking with an anarcho-capitalist one time and he was talking about we should get rid of corporations,LLCs,etc. And they should be partnership,sole proprietorship. Chris Hedges wants a more democratized system like co-ops. Instead of a dictatorship type we currently have,The workers get a stake in the business.

All I know is the current globalist corporate system is a horrible system.
