Look, I hate this debate….if you’re obsessed with saying crony socialism because you cannot figure out that “crony” in “crony capitalism” works like ANTI, NON, FAUX, UN, DIS, IM, IL, IR, A - etc…..then so be it.
Clearly crony capitalism means non capitalism or anti capitalism or acapitalism….but fight your fight.
Crony socialism is okay, but frankly, it’s redundant.
This isn't about me, this is about people who are blinded by political ideology.
If you were to say "crony capitalism" to people living in Seattle, they would instinctively assume capitalism is bad and this is the worst of it. They don't think. They are so programed to certain words that they just don't think. Now if you were to say, "crony socialism" they would have a melt down because you used the word socialism in a bad light. Then they will deny that anything like that could ever happen under a socialist control.
