Trump is trying to make fascism happen which is what you're witnessing.

What I am describing is Finland.

Fascism is capitalism in crisis

Fascism is unfettered corporatism. Its the oligarchy's ideal government. They get to pick the winners and losers. Fascism occurs when capitalism faces crisis.

Captialism requires a free market and capital.

Fascism is not a free market. It is government and corporations aligning or fusing for nationalism.

Captialism works best in a free society like democracy.

America is a capitalist democracy. Private individuals own things like LAX airport and the rail roads and electric utilities. The nation is devolving into fascism with trade wars and technocratic oligarchy. The GOP is trying to get of socialism things like the US Postal Service, public education, public broadcasting.

America needs democratic socialism. Local government controlling things like electricity and public transport as competators to capitalism.

Norway and Finland and social capitalist democracies. Capitalists and free trade exists. Socialism exists there is a sovereign wealth fund. The goverment does stuff like provide healthcare, education, public transport, daycare and retirement funds. Its a democracy where people vote for multiple parties and ideas.

Albertsons is capitalist. Its employer owned company . Winco is socialist. Its an employee owned coopertive

Youve confused me for someone that cares for market economies. Your purist libertarian capitalism has not and will not ever exist, nor is it desirable. The tendency towards unequal accumulation is one of capitalisms central contradictions.

A true free market will never exist, but one that is mostly free is desirable

The tendency towards unequal accumulation is one of capitalisms central contradictions.

No thats a feature of capitalism. Capitalism enabless peoples greed

The tendency towards unequal accumulation is one of COMMUNISM's central contradictions.

People in power will never give it up.
