SO at last it has come about- the true alliance between the twin poles of populism- time was, the only people who bandied about the terms “oligarchy” and “corporatism” were the hard-core leftists. But now we increasingly hear conservatives realizing that free markets and large corporations are actually enemies, not friends, and that the relationship of government power and corporate power has become a incestuous, mutually rewarding one.
This isn’t about socialism vs capitalism any more- that battle was won long ago- this is about whether we have a government that represents freedom and is responsive to the people or to the special interests and moneyed class.
