Which in turn will provide the impetus for nationalization, subsidy (subject to government conditions, which can and will change unilaterally), or other form government control, generally while maintaining the facade of private enterprise as to retain the ability to deflect criticisms toward non-government entities.

Communism, socialism, (vanilla/military) Keynesianism, and third-way democratic quasi-socialism may all take drastically different forms on paper (and in the imaginations of utoptians everywhere), but all have the same final destination in practice: total-state fascism.
