Edit: Holy crap, I need to confess I misread your post and replied as if you were making a completely different point. That is my mistake, full stop, and after re-reading your reply I can only assume I likely confused you and others.
Any extreme is bad, that’s true. But there’s a lot of room in between current affairs and the situation you’re describing I should have read that more carefully. Many of the happiest, healthiest nations on Earth (prime example being Nordic nations) have a model featuring government intervention in the economy and strong social nets while still being capitalist.

I’m a republican and I strongly believe if the people want and it’s constitutional, it’s fair game
I also believe in regulations to avoid mega corps.
I also support rules are publicly traded companies and wages.
It’s been disappointing how many people, not politicians, have bought into we should let companies do anything they want.
