Agreed. It also cements these corporate monopolies when the masses shill out thousands of dollars every year for a new iPhone/laptop/car/tv/etc.

That’s the ends game- basically State protected monopolies with zero competition (think Soviet Russia). One or two companies per industry that dominate the entire country. Would be fucking horrible

Take a look at South America. That's exactly what happens there and you are right, it is horrible.

That place would be great if they didn’t resort to the over the top racism and anti-semitism like a bunch of edge lords. Not the BS stuff that they call Conservatives racist for. Like hard r straight vile racism. Not consuming BS is cool though
