AS AN ASIDE: kinda proves the point of some marxists that whatever the soviets, and bolsheviks before them, had was not true #communism; but corruptocratic state capitalism.

it explains why Trump was notoriously infatuated with the soviets: he loved their unbridled #corruption.

#MAGA *is* #soviet #capitalism; where a select few enrich themselves as “portfolio managers” of the country’s assets while the rest of us exist to absorb their “externalities” under the guise of government policies.
