That ironic feeling when crony statist capitalists already have complete and total control over the economy

It's just socialism by another name, and with different recipients (namely corporate execs instead of the median human being)

View on HN

Corporate execs organize companies that deliver value to society ... or they won't be execs for long.

Socialist bureaucrats ... they "justify" their place in society the way the people at the DMV do.

On the contrary, such companies don't deliver value. Their sole purpose is to extract value.

Right? Like Lockheed Martin, Booz Allen, Comcast, Raytheon, just deliver soooooooo much value to the American taxpayer!

Those executive bonuses are hard-earned!

Which means it is comparable to most other forms of socialism as those also tend to have a limited group of privileged individuals versus the unwashed masses who get to be equal in relative poverty, especially compared to the former group.
