RE: Commies confuse capitalism with cronyism.

Communists don't confuse, they conflate, rather deliberately I might add. Whatever your opinion of James Lindsay, he was right on the money when he said "Marxists share your vocabulary, but not your dictionary." To communists, private property ownership (their definition of capitalism) IS cronyism, which is why both that word as well as "corporatism" cause them to disappear in a cloud of dust. They know exactly what they are doing. Their best-kept secret is the belief that everyone being equally poor is preferable to being unequally wealthy, and they hate it when that secret gets out. But enough about why I was excommunicated for being a brutally honest Bolshevik.
