It's two sides of the same coin. Everyone likes capitalism in the early days when there are lots of entrepreneurs and small businesses competing against each other. Mom and pop can run a family store. There's a strong middle class and national prosperity.

But it doesn't last, and capitalism always morphs into crony capitalism, where monopolies run everything and lawmakers are bribed to protect the rich and exploit the poor. It's functionally no different from communism, which is a political and economic model (yes its both) that just speedruns straight to late stage oligarchy.

Both crony capitalism and communism concentrate wealth and power in the hands of a few oligarchs that control most of the nation's resources. Both hand majority control over to one or a handful of major political parties. Both involve high degrees of bribery, corruption, and accumulation of wealth and power with the goal of exploiting the masses.

Marx was a liar and a terrorist. His work has done more harm to humanity than nuclear weapons. Communism is a blueprint that tricks the naive, the gullible, and the stupid and in every single instance without fail causes violent revolution that incorporates genocide to put the absolute worst people in power so they can oppress and tyrannize those weaker than them.

Crony Capitalism is the same end, it just takes longer and dresses the whole thing up in mask and gown and plays a charade to keep people from realizing the truth.

The human race has an inherent flaw. We can't govern ourselves properly. Every single model of government we have ends up abusing the people who the government is supposed to represent. We don't have a model of government that actually works as intended.
