It's mind bending.

And that's and that's what corporatism is.

It's totally run amok now.

And why is that?

Because of money in politics.

So in order to fix all of these problems and to get back to real free markets and capitalism, you have got to get the money out of politics.

If you don't do that, you're just on a treadmill of corruption and it never ends.

And you get BS guys like Biden and Trump who come in and tell you that they're going to drain the swamp and then they fill it up even more and even more.

And they serve all their donors.

So in terms of socialism, we never define what it means.

The reality is most governments are mixed economies.

Not most governments.

Almost all governments are mixed economies.

So when we say socialism, are we talking about Cuba or are we talking about the Netherlands?

Because you could argue that Northern Europe does socialism.

They have a lot more things that are public rather than private.

But do they have private businesses?

Of course they do, right?

So I would argue that democratic capitalism is the right way to go, where we have capitalism, but it is checked by democracy.

The CEOs and the shareholders look out for the companies, and the legislators and the president and the prime ministers are supposed to look out for the citizens and check the corporations so they don't run amok.
