There is nothing wrong with free market capitalism –capitalism is after all, an unstoppable force of nature– but when the markets are monopolized and controlled by large corporations with the help of the government, you no longer have free market capitalism; you have crony capitalism, which is a problem.

“Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power.” — Benito Mussolini
