lolbertarians are some of the dumbest people on earth.
okay, let’s say it is “crony capitalism run by the state” (he doesn’t mean state capitalism, he doesn’t know what that means)
what else can capitalism become, especially without extremely strict regulation and wealth/income caps- all things these people are against? and to the extent that the state has its hand in the economy, is it not ONLY to benefit corporations? they’re not regulating these companies or anything to any meaningful degree. so if the government is bad because they only serve big business, even in their own completely nonsensical analysis, doesnt that still make capitalism the problem?
From Wikipedia: “The initial use of the term “capitalism” in its modern sense is attributed to Louis Blanc in 1850 … and Pierre-Joseph Proudhon in 1861”. Two socialists, not describing an ideal, but rather describing reality (or, in other words, capitalism just is crony state capitlism).
