    Capitalism = free-market competition

    Socialism = public monopoly (the state, or a private monopoly)

    These AI companies want to put us under a socialist regime. We must stop them.

        A company can achieve such high levels of productivity that it no longer relies on the profit motive, whether it’s privately or publicly owned. When I refer to a “private monopoly,” I’m describing a private enterprise that has effectively transitioned into a publicly regulated entity with a focus on improving societal ills.
