what I’m saying is that the government is in bed with a lot of these companies

Which you’re trying to say is not capitalism…but that’s capitalism.

We didn’t switch to socialism or some other economic system because we’ve, in your words, “poorly managed” our economic system. It’s still capitalism we’re running even if it’s in your opinion “poorly managed”.

Venezuela wasn’t socialist until it became socialist. I’m simply pointing out the country is moving in a bad direction. Before there was a balanced government and capitalist system now it’s less so.

You’re trying to say that corporations all boycotting a POS social platform’s ad buys at the same time is some form of “corporate communism” but you’re too much of a weasel to say it outright because you know that it’s empty rhetoric akin to something that would dribble out of Boebert’s or MTG’s lips and will be straightforwardly recognized as such by the audience here.

Thank you, you said it for me “corporate communism”, which in my opinion is the cancer of a functioning capitalist economy.
