    But they are the end goal of capitalism.

    Therefore Capitalism isn’t compatible with democracy.

      I don’t think they are the “end goal” of capitalism.

      A capitalist philosophy holds the concept of competition as being the sign of a healthy market. Monopolies are undesirable because they have no competition to hold them in check.

      The hypocrisy of it is that every capitalist believes they should be the exception. The want to be the one that wins the competition, but also that nobody else should be allowed to.

      Anyone that works at a corporation would know that they aren’t democratic in any way.

      The second you want. “Business man” in government shows you don’t even understand what government is for. This has been our country since Reagan and people still can’t get it and prefer the WWE like politics. It’s performative, tribal, and theatrical as Putin’s henchmen designed (for their own takeover)

      If people haven’t watched Hypernormalization, they should, they do this red/blue shit and fund both sides and steal everything while we play red vs blue

        The folks who want to “run government like a business” also want to cut taxes and gut the IRS.

        What business ACTIVELY tries to reduce revenue?
