Trump Pentagon is 'thinking' about taking equity stakes in defense contractors, says Lutnick www.cnbc.com/2025/08/26/t...

Equity stake = means of production = Marxism. Who’s going to tell him? I feel like this is another corporate welfare grift.

On a daily basis, I ask of Trump’s words and misbehavior, who else would get away with that?

This means our military will have a vested interest in protecting these companies. Instead of competitive bidding and innovation their focus will be on making them profitable.

This helps complete conservative reactionary corporatism - Trump’s fascism. The observation that all government programs inevitably prioritize self survival and growth over original public purpose will apply here. Especially since the protections developed in administrative law are being destroyed.

If they had just kept it in-house (ie. gov’t employees like the Manhattan Project, Oak Ridge or Area 51) all IP would have been owned by the gov’t. Instead they decided to go w/ contractors, bleed money anyway AND lose out on IP rights.

Trump admin already has a definitive history of corporate directed retribution. The second one of the defense contractors deviates from project 2025’s insane mandates (i.e. DEI) he would sue, demand the change, somehow reverse course and cause chaos & potentially financial ruin.

Defense contractors should resist this, damn it. There is always another country who will buy your weapons and planes. You will not lose any money if you resist!

If Lutnick is involved, then the word "thinking" is a generous term, and is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that statement.

Fidel Castro's government nationalized, or "federalized," businesses in Cuba, with the process beginning in 1959 and intensifying throughout the 1960s. This was a key part of his Marxist–Leninist and Cuban nationalist agenda to establish a one-party communist state.

Trump’s US is starting to resemble the mid-20th century USSR. It’s a good indicator of where we are headed. Gov’t ownership of companies, a police state, poor economy, detention and disappearance of the opposition, food shortages, and corruption at all levels of gov’t. We know how that worked out.

This is what GOP 34th U.S. POTUS Ike Eisenhower warned us about. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwight_... It is just as dangerous for the govt to be in military producers' boardrooms as it is for their reps to be courting our Reps&Sens, judges & POTUS.
