I was reading a right-wing piece about how corporations are taking over America in a cabal-conspiracy "great reset" which will usher in a corporate communism where a small billionaire elite will govern unaccountably.

This fear and view point seems to resonate with many Americans who have a fundamental misunderstanding about how to analyze class society.

Not only do we already live in a world where unelected corporations determine economic, political, and social policy, everything these people fear about socialism/communism is just capitalism.

The most ironic part is that socialists and communists actually want to fight against corporate domination and bring more democratic accountability to the economic sphere.

EDIT: Here's the debate part:

Right wing think tanks are purposely misleading the American people by demonizing these words so that they can push their radical free-market no-regulation, no-tax ideology which ends up with the powerful megacorps they are worried about under "communism."
