How To Fight Socialism

How to fight socialism? That's easy. Make Capitalism better. Right now we have Crony Capitalism in the USA.

Crony capitalism is an economic system in which businesses thrive not as a result of free enterprise, but rather as a return on money amassed through collusion between a business class and the political class.

Crony capitalism is something ignorant people created. There is no such thing. Its either capitalism, or it isnt. There are already terms to describe what you posted. Its called corporatism.

Good answer.

That collusion involves almost all of the top positions in government and most CEOs/top management positions of big Fortune 500 companies

Would you be okay with removing them all from their positions and putting them all in jail for a very long long time ?

No. The low taxes they pay now, they got passed legally. They broke no laws. I simply want to roll back to those tax breaks so they no longer get them.

I don't see any evidence.

You didn't go to college, did you?

Just because you don't know anything about socialism or communism, doesn't mean all Americans are ignorant.

I don't think things will turn out the way you believe they would. First, those students would be taught what Socialism really is. Socialism is when the government owns the means of production. Period. It is not welfare, it is not food stamps, it is not Social Security, or Medicare and Medicaid.

I went to high school over 40 years ago. We had an Economics course. Hell, my junior and senior year I won the Economics award. The summer after my junior year I went to Economics camp. Yeah, camp. Paid for by the county. We had class in the morning and we visited businesses in the afternoon. Needless to say, I breezed through college with an Economics degree, actually, more like Econometrics.

But Sealybobo is right. Why some might claim there is no crony capitalism, what is very clear is that there is rampant rent seeking. And there in lies the problem. Modern economics, called neoclassical is SHIT. Any economic text, or theory, published after the 20th century is pure HORSESHIT. If we are going to teach real economics, then Henry George and Adam Smith better be anchoring the curriculum. Truth be told, Xenophon had it right almost 2500 years ago. Real Economics, that is what needs to be taught. Otherwise, all we are doing is indoctrinating the masses. The classic example, "free markets". What is a "free market"? What is it free from? Go ahead, anyone. Because I am doubting anyone knows the damn answer.

The best way to fight socialism is to stop ignorantly and arrogantly misapplying capitalism.

Easy peasy.

But there is little chance of that happening, sadly.

Corporations that pay $0 in taxes double thanks to GOP tax scam

At least 60 of the biggest companies in the U.S. paid no federal income taxes on $79 billion worth of income in 2018.

That's unusual for you to say. I taught economics to high school students for many years. It was part of our curriculum.

Aren't you making a gross assumption?

I have news for you. There is not a single corporation that pays federal taxes. Every one of those corporations passes those taxes on to the consumers in increased costs for their products or services.

The problem is not only Economics, it is the widespread in the public schools. Pre-K and post 12th grade community colleges seek to be funded by the Democrats, and the Republicans are unwilling to vote for the bill (if they had a chance, Moscow Mitch will continue to abuse the power of the Senate Rules).
