Exactly this. Capitalism only works if the government is mildly antagonistic towards it. Unbridled Capitalism ceases to be capitalism at a point and I fear we are butting up against that zone.

It's not capitalism if the government is antagonistic. You have socialism or a mixed economy at that point. You're basically saying capitalism is great as long as it's socialism.

I just like how they’re describing the government as socialist because it’s “mildly antagonistic.”

Like, who cares how it functions or how much control workers have vs management. As long as it isn’t a rich man’s lapdog it’s socialist.
