It’s the consolidation of pretty much everything. Mom & Pop stores are just about dead. Real competition in the market place is a myth. They will continue to do things like approve the Comcast/Time Warner merger. These people (yeah I mean Koch Brothers, etc) are NOT Patriots and are NOT our friends. They use us for votes. That’s it. Both Parties are two sides of the same coin and have sold us out. The Capitalists are killing Capitalism and we do nothing.
“The Capitalists are killing Capitalism and we do nothing.”
The CRONY capitalists are killing capitalism.
you should change your name to leftward ho, in light of what you said about the Koch Brothers.
They are not crony capitalists, which are part of the problem, a big part. But consolidation by itself is not a bad thing, unless you aren’t a believer in the free market (and a lot of Freepers really aren’t…..)
Capitalism is not a form of governing. Capitalism exists in all forms of government. The difference between Socialism, Communism, and Americanism is in who controls the capital.
In Socialism and Communism, the state controls the capital.
In Americanism the people own and control the capital.
The Progressive movement attempts to redefine the tenets of Socialism and Communism to a more politically correct position like Social Justice or other such liberal nonsense.
I recall posting on Free Republic ... Define Socialism
I only support governments whose main function is to protect private ownership of capital and property rights. All definitions used to describe other governments are of no interest to me. I will not support government that does not protect property rights regardless of all manner of noble accomplishments cited.
