      As much as I hate private ownership of the means of production, her death is tied more to Musk and Republicans. And everyone even slightly responsible for Trump’s victory through action or inaction.

        Any time something bad happens in a capitalist system, it’s because of capitalism.

        A “free market” as in the sense these lunatics envision it is a market devoid of any form of outside regulations. In essence, survival of the fittest on an economical level: Profit above all else, might makes right, consequences be damned. One president führer CEO calling the shots, everybody else following or getting crushed in the machinery.

        So you tell me: What’s not authoritarian about corporate capitalism?

        Capitalism inherently doesn’t require a free market… It just requires oligarchs to own emans of production

        Free market is a separate topic and it doesn’t rally exist anyway

      I mean Doge doesn’t even really fit into what most would call capitalism. Closer to corruption, hubris, and plain old stupidity really.

        It fits perfectly as a vessel to further the neoliberal agenda of dismantling any form of regulations to create their vision of a “perfect” free market society.
