I'm starting to think the capitalists don't even have control anymore. Like they built this system and now they have lost control over it entirely

We are at the stage where the capitalists who actually understood capitalism are dead and the next generation is operating blindly within it

It really feels like they’re getting lost in the sauce

I would bet that there are still plenty of evil genuises in places like Blackrock etc. that know how the system works without becoming delusional.

But I absolutely believe that a large portion of the multigenerational ruling class have absolutely huffed their own farts and have no idea what they're doing

Yeah, this. The capitalists with the most power that we don't hear much about (I would think so at least) have an idea how it all works. But the rest? Buffoons. Delusional.

Idk, like yea a lot of them. But I would not be surprised if there's still a large contingent of them that would just prefer the US to be an open slave state instead of the friendly rainbow capitalism of "voluntary" wage slavery. Rainbow Capitalism was fascism's Loss Leader, and now that the competition (USSR) is out of the picture it's time for the rug pull. It's just a question of whether or not they're doing it too soon, imo. And honestly, I'm not seeing the sort of resistance yet that's gonna turn the tide.

Fascism = political dictatorship over proletariat and capital in general, in favour of a particular clique of capitalists

A similar movement is going on before our own eyes. Modern bourgeois society, with its relations of production, of exchange and of property, a society that has conjured up such gigantic means of production and of exchange, is like the sorcerer who is no longer able to control the powers of the nether world whom he has called up by his spells.
