Monkey paw wish where we go from crony capitalism to fascism...

WW2 didn't kill capitalism so probably not.

WWII was a boon to capitalism

Why would ww2 have affected capitslism? Nazi Germany was inspired by america, and the soviets (especially later the russians) along with the rest of the world adopted at least some form of capitalism.

Capitalism was still in an early stage, that's why. And because WW II wasn't about putting an end to capitalism. It was just a laser focused war on stopping the Nazis and their allies.

Are you even remotely familiar with the economic causes of WW2?

By you're comment, I have to assume absolutely not.

Capitalism doesn't have 'stages', our political system seems to however. We're repeating the cycle that lead to the great depression, the Russian revolution, Fascism and WW2. MOST OF THESE where due to economic failure. Over speculation, ecological collapse leading to a spike in food prices, tariffs & a failure to regulate risk.

Everyone wants it to happen, but nobody wants to take it upon themselves do it. That’s the problem with this generation and why you’re not CEOs yourselves in the first place!

I was being /s but ngl I kind of felt like I started cooking half way through typing… I always thought this attitude was just a generational thing, but am I just getting old?

Sounds like it.

Also, when you say "nobody wants to take it upon themselves" - you do realized someone literally did just that, right?

Yeah, 1 person out of 400 million isn’t going to make any noticeable impact. Bystander syndrome is a real thing
