This whole analysis reads like the economic version of flat earth theory to me, but I thank you both in advance because I am about to go down a research rabbit hole on "corporate communism."

Yeah so the state always bails corporations out, makes laws disproportionally in their favour, controls the media to whitewash their actions, and most important clogs capital and access to resources. Not to mention the constant suppression of businesses by acquisitions under all sorts of threats and regulatory overburdening. Thats communism. In communist countries communism did exactly that - a handful controlled the resources, media, and people’s lives while keeping everyone poor and obedient by suppressing all form of independent enterprise. When capital moves freely and in the process enriches the people that help move it thats capital-ism. And thats what indies and small to medium business owners are, pure capitalists and free folk. We should see more of that.

You're describing money flowing freely between rich people.

Republicans vote for this everyday. It's called taxing the rich. It's not that complicated.

You need permanent revolution to seize the productive forces from the communist-capitalist firms by the state and redistribute them to capitalist-communist firms and so on and so forth.
