> It's a dangerous road To be clear, there are exactly 0 communist politicians in the US. You're creating a false dichotomy. It's not the capitalists vs the communists, it's the capitalists vs the slight less capitalist capitalists. The American left isn't communist, and it isn't even close. Even the closest politicians like Bernie Sanders cannot be considered communists. > What does it mean when the things that happen in a healthy free market aren't happening It means we don't live in a free market. Because a free market is bad, and nobody actually wants a free market. They want an almost free market. But of course child labor is bad, and poisoning your workers is bad, and also blowing them up on the railroad is bad, and then poisoning the water is bad too. And then giving your customers HIV (yes, real) is bad as well. So we decided we need some authority over that.
