    They never were. They’re the party of corporate interests. When corporations wanted no regulation they championed small government. Now that they own all branches of government the corporations have their people at the helm so they want as much government control as possible because their guy will put it in good for them.

      They want to eliminate competition. The core principle of capitalism is competition. Without competition usa is no longer a capitalist country. it is now a monarchy like 17th century england, where a business had to buy a royal charter to be able to operate. Royal Charters granted a monopoly. Welcome to the usa. A country of monopolies.

        No, just like it did in Nazi Germany, capitalism has produced fascism when threatened. The threat isn’t even all that different than it was then, instead of just unions you have the addition of a new industry trying to disrupt ancient oil bloodlines. Capitalism will always produce fascism once power is concentrated enough in the hands of the owning class. It served its purpose and now it has become a burden on humanity.
