Monopoly-Capitalism is not Capitalism. It is government favoritism of the elite banker-corporate interest facilitated by their chosen puppet politicians(Classic Fascism). If you think that America is a free market bastion of pure Capitalism then you haven't been paying attention. Monopoly-Capitalism is the system established in America by the machinations of the Progressive movement since the mid 1800's and the Liberal bogeyman Capitalism is just a shibboleth of ancient myth, like the above mentioned "Troll", for which I'm still waiting for a definition of it's E-equivalent.

Further, why would monopoly capitalism do Viet Nam? See my previous or consider the profits, both economic and political . Or just consider the enormous propaganda value of tying a losing, "unjust" war to the whole American historic legacy and how profitably it could be employed in the mental conditioning of whole generations of American youth. Or just attend a university Occupied by my 1960's hippy-Marxist contemporaries and hear their speil.

The US is a capitalist country. You know it sucks, but you don't want to admit that it sucks because "conservatives" and "capitalists" ran the thing into the ground following their dumb ideas so you came up with that outlandish tripe in attempt to resolve the internal contradiction caused by the difference in between what you believe and and what you see resulting from those beliefs in practice. .

It's called cognitive dissonance.

Still waiting for "Troll", contemporary meaning, and I'm serious, I usually find meaning from context then sometime later discover it's book recorded official definition but here I need assistance.
