I am just here to leave a gentle reminder for y'all to call "crony capitalism" by its proper name, "corporatism."
It's just capitalism.
All this BS about "cronyism" and "corporatism" is just people trying to distract from the failures of capitalism.
Greed, the contraction of power through monopoly, and exploiting others for personal profit has never been a sustainable model historically.
Warrior barbarism, aristocracies, feudalism, slavery, imperialism have all been failures. I don't think capitalism will have any outlying exceptions.
Capitalism and greed is good philosophy has killed far more people than communism and continue to do so to this day through neverending warfare and also kill off their own populations through limited effective access to medical care, healthy food choices, and a clean environment.
By placing profit over people, guess which one wins?
