A bailout by the government is not capitalism. That is socialism. The USA hasn’t been capitalist since 2008, and arguably much, much earlier than that.

We’re just told “this is capitalism” so we can blame the fallout of socialistic tendencies on it.

The blue hairs blame capitalism on what is actually the product of socialist actions.

Yup.. what we have now is essentially an amalgamation of mini socialist states (mega-corps) under one monolithic federal state. In classic fashion, the gov't has failed it's *one* job in a quasi-capitalist society, which is ensuring competition exists and killing monopolies/duopolies. Remember when Ma Bell was broken up?

Capitalists can't stand anti-trust law because it breaks their understanding of their religion. 🤭
