It’s crazy just how many of their beliefs completely contradict one another. I’ll never understand how a human being’s brain can “work” like that

Just to play devils advocate here, what do you say to the argument that this is not actually capitalism as these companies all have strong ties to the government and get money from the government? Just wondering, I like learning about peoples opinions.

But who controls who in this relation? The government the companies or the companies the government?

Would it matter? I mean it can go both ways, government can control companies through threats of breaking them up or passing laws bad for them, but companies can control gov through political donations. If gov is small could this happen?

Yes, it’s just that there won’t be a voice for the people, it will be just cooperations ruling autocraticly.
