    Lib. “Crony capitalism” is not a thing. It’s just capitalism. There is no form of capitalism that doesn’t involve cronyism, that is just the natural conclusion of private ownership.

      I agree with you 100%, and Marx was very clear that capitalism is filled with theft and oppression. It’s nice that Marx also at times rested his critique of capitalism abstracting all the crony-ness and analyzed capitalism with ‘good intentions,’ showing that even without the oppression/theft it’s a failed system.

      edit: misread!

          I like to blatantly call it out for those that are still struggling with it. I understand for those like us, it is redundant.

            That is not only not helpful but actually bad. You’re just muddying the waters.

            The communists disdain to hide their views and aims
