Would suggest that capitalism unfettered is a kleptomaniac and when unfettered will shape society in the direction of a kleptocratic model, that Russia and China are not kleptocratic models but remain totalitarian systems.

The USA has simply reached the kleptocratic stage of a largely unfettered capitalism and may in fact be heading now towards a totalitarian system.

Continuing to muse to myself. 1\ Capitalism (commerce) is a force that will adapt to whatever the system is. 2\ If unfettered it will adapt the system to itself. 3\ The Supreme Court's 2010 ruling in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission created the conditions for 2.

4\ The system that capitalism (unfettered) will create is a kleptocratic system. 5\ A kleptocratic system is hierarchical and authoritarian. 6\ The USA is in the authoritarian phase. The only Good fortune is that Trump (the great leader) is a moron.
