    Never has it been more clear what Capitalism is. It has fuckall to do with freedom and everything to do with sharecropping.

      it has nothing to do with either. its about private ownership. thats it. thats all it has ever been and thinking the government owning companies is better is silly.

      The current economic regime is less like “capitalism” and more like “feudalism with corporations.”

        That depends on what you are calling Capitalism. I’m all for free markets and such, but Capitalism was never anti-feudal - first thing the Burghers did was marry their kids into Noble families. It was strictly about adding “man with enough money that he doesn’t work” to the protected class.
