Yah, right. And 6 million Jews died of cholera. Needless to say, your assertion explains why capitalists massively funded fascism in Germany and elsewhere and why fascist thugs beat the crap out of leftists since time began. Read Anthony Sutton’s “Wall St. and the Rise of Hitler” for starters and Carrol Quigley’s “Tragedy and Hope” for finishers.
Conservatives absolutely must begin to understand the dynamic of why capitalism intrinsically evolves towards MONOPOLISM, i.e., “too big to fail”. That is exactly what happens when you gobble up the competition, and corporate bureaucracy then infiltrates government via lobbying and revolving door hiring policies to create even more monopoly. Apparently capitalists, just like marxists, DON’T LIKE COMPETITION, which is the only thing that keeps them honest. Why there isn’t an ANTI-MONOPOLIST faction within conservatism is beyond me.
“Why there isn’t an ANTI-MONOPOLIST faction within conservatism is beyond me.”
Perhaps because, currently, big government is more obviously interfering with people’s lives than big business. And monopolies are typically created and maintained with the collusion of government.
