lolbertarians are some of the dumbest people on earth.

okay, let’s say it is “crony capitalism run by the state” (he doesn’t mean state capitalism, he doesn’t know what that means)

what else can capitalism become, especially without extremely strict regulation and wealth/income caps- all things these people are against? and to the extent that the state has its hand in the economy, is it not ONLY to benefit corporations? they’re not regulating these companies or anything to any meaningful degree. so if the government is bad because they only serve big business, even in their own completely nonsensical analysis, doesnt that still make capitalism the problem?

if you remove all the onerous regulations around child slavery, landlordism, privately owned security services, human trafficking, heavy arms manufacturing, human experimentation, organ harvest, and sexual exploitation... crony corporatism will cease to exist and the bright, radiant future of market fundamentalism will emerge.
