They have a shared enemy: freedomö-.loving libertarians. Libertarians who prioritize self responsibility and freedom, cannot be corrupted by typical left or right party programs and bribes, and by that are a threat to the existing political and governmental systems both left and right- and the power interests of the acting persons.
As I reminded of before: the Nazis were socialists, too. Many people forget that or even never realised that. The third Reich was a socialist tyranny with a planned economy, massive expropritation of private property and production means, and added a strong taste of racism to this recipe. Hitler until the end said that there are no principle differences or divisions between Bolshewism and Nationalsocialism. Thats the reason why both regimes, Hitler'S Nazigermany and the USSR of Stalin, looked to similiar and commited the same type of atrocities, established the same kind of police states and planned economies. Later Mao did the same and joined the two. And many others.
You either have market economy and a free market, or you have regulation, then you have no free market, but a planned economy. This nonsense about third ways and social market economy is all bull, just hides the truth. A free market is social, and it is just. But Capitalism has an inevitable tendency for monopolism, like life has an inevitable tendency towards death, but nobody would conclude that life is in vein and trying to survive and fighting desease and trying to get old is pointless. So it is with Capitalism as well. Monopolies must be confronted, and thrown back time and again. Ever new generations need to fight the fight for physical survival, the fight for free, non-monopolistic market again and again. The biological being fights for survival and against death, the economical being fights fopr fre market bartering and against monopolism and reuglation. That is what we call "life". That is what we call "capitalism. Like life is not death, capitalism is not monopolism. Both have an inbuild antagonist that serves like a negative attractor: death for life, and monopolism for capitalism. Monoplism is not part of capitalism -
it is its antagonist. It seems many do noo get this, and so they take both for the same thing.
Many criticsms of capitalism, are wrongly aimed. They often are correct in their claims, but adress the wrong receiver. The problem is not capitalism or free market, the problem is monopolism. I mean nobody would argue that the problem of disease is that life exists, the problem is germs, infections and this attractor named death.
Churchill put it well: "Some regard private enterprise as if it were a predatory tiger to be shot. Others look upon it as a cow that they can milk. Only a handful see it for what it really is--the strong horse that pulls the whole cart."
Shoot the horse, and see where you get with all your belongings on the cart. Not very far, I assume.
