It’s called state capitalism. State capitalism is what China and Russia do. It’s NOT free market capitalism. It’s the opposite.

The CEO class seems to think that the USA needs to engage in state capitalism in order to compete on industrial capabilities with China, among other reasons.

I remember earlier this year when various neolibs were arguing against me that conservatives are actually fans of communism, they just like it racist and pedophile flavored. Ah well. Time to be told I'm exaggerating again for calling a spade a spade

I mean, there's like some dude who put together almost a hundred long pages of news stories of conservatives being the freak pedophiles that they are. The evidence was always there. Only new development is that rich pedophiles are now a completely protected class of citizens in the US

True but more evidence can still accumulate, and I’d say it is. As an aside, if you have it handy I’d take that link. If you don’t, no worries, I can find it.

Big fan of public ownership in principle, but this has "exit liquidity" written all over it. Economy is heading for the trash and Trump is bailing his friends out

It is extremely unlikely that the government grabbing shares of companies will do these companies any good. The real reason isn't that some politicos will be helpful in running corporations but to be better able to suppress any dissent that might emerge from the private economy
