The USA is on the fast track to communism anyway.

Certainly to authoritarianism, at least

No, no. I do mean full-blown communism. And I'm an economist. I know this stuff.

Seems very unlikely but ok

Really. What do you think of the Fed and the Treasury department buying EVERYTHING? Textbook definition of communism.

It's also a hallmark of authoritarian capitalism. I think the real threat is authoritarianism, of which communism is just a subset

It's not capitalism when it's the government who owns the corporations.

But it is when the corporations own the government. Which is basically the case in the USA right now

They pay off most members of congress, the tax laws are written in their favor, most of the bailout money is going to corps. The evidence is there buddy.
