I guess if BreitBart makes up enough stuff they’ll eventually say something factual on accident.
Normally I don’t read or cite breitbart. I posted this specifically because it was from breitbart. I also agree with the premise but was surprised it was on breitbart
The thing about fascists is that they do sometimes point out real problems, but their explanations on the causes and their solutions for those incorrect causes are wildly unreasonable. For example, Nigel here probably believes that “corporatism” is caused by the companies exploiting (white, British) people being owned by non British and non white people, and his solution is to ban those people from owning anything and indeed deport non white people and immigrants instead of regulating the actions of businesses in any way. So even if he’s correct that it’s a problem that people are suffering and the government is corrupt, he and Breitbart can’t be worked with because their solutions are bullshit and sharing glowing articles about them promotes their explanations and solutions.
There are good free market capitalists who are trying to expose corporatism to distinguish it from capitalism with healthy competition that makes locally owned services and businesses, some of those even get to know their customers. Coporations believe they are entitled to everybody else’s money while only doing the token minimal for very large amounts of money.
I am very much a capitalist at heart. It’s the only system proven to raise the quality of life for everyone. The current corporatism isn’t the same as capitalism. I’m not a fan of that.

I’m curious, how exactly do you define “capitalism”? I’m having difficulty constructing a definition which doesn’t inevitably lead to corporatism.
Literally just don’t have the limited liability corporate structure. It’s an invention of government to privatize profits while socializing losses.
In a free market, company owners would not be entitled to profits while eschewing liability for the actions of their companies. It would force prioritizing long-term brand sustainability over cutting corners to juice next quarter’s share price. And liability would incentivize keeping companies small to manage risk, so there probably wouldn’t even be megacorp conglomerates to begin with.
@wintermute_oregon totally agree.
End all corporations and the stocks that go with them.
