    What is it with people seeing the outcomes of market capitalism and saying "see! communism!!" I could point to dozens of these, it's fucking bizarre.

      Because the two are converging. Difference in extreme capitalism is instead of one there are many poliburos, and instead one dictators you have many more. Instead we should return to actual market capitalism, instead of corporate capitalism which is highly toxic.
