Here’s a thought excersise that I hope you feel free to take as rhetorically as you wish:
Can you think of a time when it was “real” capitalism ^^^^tm and not crony capitalism/ forgiving socialism for the rich and robust free market capitalism for the poor?
Personally, I can’t and I don’t think anyone can name a time that that it was, that would stand up to any scrutiny.
If there was never a time that it could have existed, then It was always a lie.
Just to be clear in right behind you 99%. I may be wrong but feel that if you were to look into that area, you would likely come to the same conclusion as me.
