The ultimate end of improperly regulated capitalism is also state capitalism. So why not rail against state capitalism instead of one of the multiple systems that spawns it?

"Improperly regulated" means "we let the commies have a few 'common sense regulations' and they took control of everything again."

I do, except I use the correct name for it: Communism.

no, it means "we left the market entirely unregulated and within a hundred years they blew through monopolies into regulatory capture and now the wealthy own everything and make all the decisions for you" as opposed to "we gave all the wealth to a few people and they kept it instead of being ethical. Now the wealthy own everything and make all the decisions for you."

entirely unregulated

regulatory capture

This is the best stand up comedy I've seen in weeks. Enlighten me, how exactly does regulatory capture happen in the absence of regulators? Sounds like quite a feat.

and now the wealthy own everything and make all the decisions for you" as opposed to "we gave all the wealth to a few people and they kept it instead of being ethical. Now the wealthy own everything and make all the decisions for you."

I was going to suggest getting rid of the regulators so there's nothing to capture and no way to build monopolies, but I've seen the light. Clearly we should just call the wealthy "nomenklatura" and the problem is solved. Perfect equality.
