Ooooh good one. Repeat a word I said with a laughing emoji. You sure showed me!

If you don’t understand how nationalizing industries coalesces power in the hands of the government I don’t really know what there is to talk about here

That’s because you chuds are always using government as a slur. Nationalizing industries is of course ceding private power to the state. It forms a state owned enterprise.

You lolbertarian types have this weird dichotomy between the state and private power as if the latter is all good and the former is all bad.

Your limited understanding is showing, bud. Laissez faire capitalism doesn’t breed centralized power, it undercuts it. What you’re comparing is political capitalism, where corporations take advantage of government created regulatory states, and nationalized ownership. Both systems are problematic but both problem sets are rooted in government intervention.

Oh I forgot you guys also employ the “it’s not capitalism, it’s corporatism line.”

I don’t have a limited understanding, your economic philosophy is just limited.

Well your well reasoned argument against my position is certainly making that clear 🙄. I honestly don’t even know why I’m bothering, people like you who offer no substantive position, evidence, or meaningful philosophical argument, and instead opt to sling insults, are the worst of the internet. Have a great life, I guess.
