@1: You are aware that there are points along the political and economic spectra that fall somewhere between unfettered free market capitalism and Soviet-style state socialism, aren't you?

I look forward to the WA State Workers Airplane Factory investing in a building, machinery, and worker training to put together prototype planes for FAA certification and marketing. Surely we have the political will to make a 10 year investment in such an ambitious program because Socialism!

What we have in the US isn't democratic capitalism. We're living in a kleptocracy.

@1,

So what happens when the capitalists refuse to give some of their resources to the state?
