You think we’re still capitalist? Im not sure what to call the economy of this protofascist state but it isn’t capitalist with the amount the new administration is backing specific businesses.
That’s still capitalism. I believe that might fall under cronyism? That, or simply oligarchy would work. But it’s still capitalism.
In capitalism the state is expressly not interfering on behalf of one business versus another. This would be like a communist state that had a stock market. It fundamentally goes against acore principle of the philosophy
East India Company?
Please state your Definition of Capitalism, because this seems just wrong. Also a communist state is not necessary interfering with a company, the main thing communism requires is that the means of production are owned by the workers.
You should reread my comment because the comparison was to a communist state with a stock market which like a capitalist state expressly favoring one domestic company over another it is a contradiction.
Okay, if you meant this as an oxymoron, but that was not clear.
But your Capitalism definition is still widely off, because there is not really one, but lots of different capitalisms all around the world and through history.
There is for example state capitalism which is capitalism run by a state.
State capitalism is a creation by Engles. I don’t think it really is a form of capitalism as again capitalism involves little to no involvement from the state in private business
Then, the US hasn’t been capitalist in a long time. Probably never was. The government has always interfered in the interest of one group or another. Sometimes, that group is (was) the public at large when it comes to labor or environmental rights. Sometimes, it’s in favor of big business. Oftentimes, it is. Interfering on behalf of one specific big business over another is just the latest step in the road of corruption that has been brazen since Citizens United was passed.
The invisible hand of the free market has never existed. The rich have always been kept in check by government interference.
It’s literally the very first capitalist nation. If you have examples of specific incidents of the government expressly backing a specific American business and suppressing another as a direct result of bribes/“donations” I woukd be interested in seeing them.
