There’s this weird glitch in our collective psyche where an arbitrarily bloated and rapacious central committee fixing prices and wages and regulations in favor of an insular elite is somehow still called “capitalism” as long as the party insiders are called things like “CEO” or “venture capitalist”. It’s late USSR economics with feel good nomenclature. With e.g. Elon Musk getting heavily involved in government in sort of a vague way we’re stepping into some new stage of this. We must slash entitlements to fund corporate tax cuts comrade. Apparently we’re kind of over it on even pretending a tiny corporate elite doesn’t just directly set policy in flagrant, naked, unapologetic self-interest. Capitalism sounds dope: I hope I live to see it.
