Once cronyism enters capitalism, it’s no longer capitalism. It’s cronyism.

Indeed. The old analogy holds true --
Take 10 gallons of fresh water and add 1 gallon of sewage -- the result is sewage.
Take 10 gallons of sewage and add 1 gallon of fresh water -- the result is sewage.

Cronyism quickly corrupts social systems and immediately turns it all bad.
