It is pretty obvious that "capitalism" is just a red herring at this point. It appears that major corporations and banks actually don't like capitalism, as it entails competition and struggle. Instead they simply bought the political class and rule by proxy through corrupt politicians regulating the economy on their behalf and in their interests.
Well on one hand we have autocratic creeps that hate their own people that typically lead the modern "democracies" (like Merkel, Bush, Trudeau or Blair), so basically they are just neoliberal version of Lenin.You forget that in a traditional free market as it was understood (free from government interference) you can have cartels, oligopolies and monopolies. The free market as in "free from oligopolies and cartels" can only happen with government interference. The current system is a meh (not disgusting) fusion of capitalism and oligarchy that still works well enough for other countries but it is getting out of hand in USA with growing income inequality.
Bolshevism... ???? What Bolshevism has to do with it? In Bolshevism, the workers hold the power. There are no elites or even bosses.
Also oligopolies can't really exist without state regulating on their behalf.
For example, American healthcare would have not been as artificially overpriced, if it wasn't for US government's regulating on its behalf.
Lol what I argue is to basically preserve democracy and capitalism by reducing power of federal government to appropriate minimum, abolishing federal reserve and maybe some administrative lustrations to ostracize and bar the members of the current political class from holding office ever again. Basically kinda what central Europe did to neuter its commie elite in 1990s, and in same way, Westerners will need to neuter the current neoliberal globalist elite for the same reason and same goals of democracy, capitalism and freedom.Ah, yes. We mostly agree on that part. The tax payer foots the bill (through tax exemptions of the rich, not subsidizing).
What we disagree on is whether it is a monstrous fusion of Bolsevism and oligarchy or capitalism and oligarchy.
And we strongly disagree on how bad it is. It is bad, but not too bad.
And we disagree on something quite important:
You sound like the 1900-1920s Bolsheviks, with literally the same arguments and you pander the same thing: an armed and violent uprising to unseat them and return power to the people. You even want free guns for the people, like the Bolsheviks did.
You just erroneously change the word "Capitalism" with "communism", but dude, you are talking like a communist.
And as I reply to communists, I will inform you:
What you suggest has been tried and it didn't work. The solution is not the violent uprising of the proletariat and overthrowing the elites.
The solution lies in finding responsible and good governors through democratic principles... and that is hard to do, but better and easier than the Proletariat bringing kangaroo courts and looting estates of the rich.
