Crony capitalism is a form of socialism, moron. Democrats are the ones who support it. Democrats are the ones who defend companies like Google, Facebook and Twitter. Democrats are the ones who give huge government loans to solar energy companies.It's cronyism that is growing faster. You morons who worship the wealthy and let them have all these monopolies are more the problem than any socialism. Of course it doesn't help you claim to be capitalists and then support trump and his socialist tariffs and bailouts. People don't even know what good capitalism is anymore. Repubs sure have no clue.So the more socialism grows in this country, the worse it becomes. Doesn't that give you a clue, NAZI?Our situation continues to worsen . Inequality grows, more near monopolies, wage collusion.... meanwhile we can’t hit 3% gdp growth because of it. Much needs fixing. I prefer fixing our capitalism to socialism.We abandoned free market capitalism at least 80 years ago, so why are you getting anal about it now?Are big bailouts good capitalism or is that another trump fail?Biden has only been in office for a week, numskull. He has already destroyed 75,000 jobs.Ah well you admit its not good capitalism. Amazing, I thought you were completely dishonest. I haven't seen the green new deal happening. We got stuck with the shitty tariffs and they hurt our manufacturing and farming. Lead to a nice big farmer bailout. Are big bailouts good capitalism?Tariffs are not good capitalism. However, that's only one issue. The Green New Deal is an all out assault on capitalism. A capitalist will always go with the former rather than the later. Nothing in Biden's platform is capitalism. He's a fascist to the bone.You seemed to be disagreeing with me. But since you are so stupid you probably have no clue. Tell how tariffs are good capitalism. hahaNo, I don't think the purpose of capitalism is monopoly, moron. What did I just say?Oh you think the purpose of capitalism is monopoly then eh? Moron. If you understood capitalism you wouldn't have supported trump and his moronic tariffs.Thanks for admitting you don't understand capitalism.Nobody who understands capitalism would argue that. We get monopoly because it's too easy to buy our politicians. We need campaign finance reform. None of this is the fault of capitalism.Some would argue the purpose of capitalism is monopoly:Monopolies are not good capitalism. What we need is good capitalism. We have cronyism currently.
Opinion | A world without capitalism is not too hard to envision
"Then, toward the end of the 19th century, as the first networked mega-companies—including Edison, General Electric, and Bell—were formed, the genie released by marketable shares went a step further.
"Because neither banks nor investors had enough money to plough into the networked mega-firms, the mega-bank emerged in the form of a global cartel of banks and shadowy funds, each with its own shareholders
"Unprecedented new debt was thus created to transfer value to the present, in the hope of profiting sufficiently to repay the future.
"Mega-finance, mega-equity, mega-pension funds, and mega-financial crises were the logical outcome.
"The crashes of 1929 and 2008, the unstoppable rise of Big Tech, and all the other ingredients of today’s discontent with capitalism, became inescapable."
Do you believe Dims are all good capitalists?
There are few good capitalists in this country. Your righties just bow to the rich and kiss their feet. The left have too many who think socialism might just be good. That said I'd take Obama over Rump any day so I guess they are a bit better.
75,000 now is it? Wow the number keeps growing, you have some imagination.
"Good capitalism" is the kind where Democrats haven't been allowed to meddle.
