I think it is saying both sides are controlled by corporations...and therefore we are ruled by corporations. I don't think they are equating the tactics and policies of either party. Most people that lean left, and most likely people in the middle, that actually appreciate what freedoms we do have, do not want to see this country slip into a fascist Republican dictatorship.
Nah, that's the issue. The right is ruled by techno fascists and religious extremists who want us all to die.
The Dems suck ass but it's more of the status quo sucking ass.
Issue is the GOP doesn't care about businesses anymore, they've gone full cult. It's why some of this shit, like the tanking dollar, doesn't even get a mention.
Just fascists. Corporations do well in authoritarian systems but no one talks about that side of WW2 History. We got here because both sides fundamentally became linked by corporate interests not the people after Clinton & citizens United.
They only do "well" in comparison to the average person.
In absolute terms, corporations also suffer under authoritarian systems because authoritarian systems undermine the free movement of capital and investment. Authoritarian nations also harm trade relations, and tend to harm investor and consumer confidence because of how they can just institute random, sweeping laws at any random time.
That's why all the biggest, strongest corporations exist in relatively free nations, and not in nations like Russia or North Korea.
