Many incorrectly refer to the US economy as Capitalism or Crony-Capitalism, when in fact it is more accurately Crony-Socialism, Socialistic-Cronyism, Socialistic-Corporatism, simply Cronyism else Corporatism, or any categorization other than Capitalism therefore fast approaching full-blown Socialist-Fascism as proposed, supported and imposed knowingly or unknowingly by both major parties.

Due to moving away from Individualism's subset of activities called Capitalism long ago (particularly since 1913), the US economy have been incrementally, steadily and now exponentially declining. To blame Capitalism for today's economic woes is to completely overlook the larger part of the economy long highly regulated, taxed, fined, subsidized, granted, loaned, banned, sanctioned, prohibited, and more, as well monetized.

To define...

Fascism is of course a top-down regulatory methodology towards total control of the economy, while Communism a bottom-up confiscatory methodology towards total control of the economy.

Individualism, in stark contrast to the former, is the constant respect hence consistent regard for each and every person's Peculiar Human Ability to Reason manifested as the Singular Human Right to Consent or Dissent on ALL matters.
